Whichever way you get to the top the result is the same; on a good clear day you can see Robben Island and Cape point itself. There is a café on top, which is a perfect place to have lunch. Robben Island The dark history of South Africa is no secret, nor should it been; SA is a country of wonderful contrast, and that is largely due to its past, the people have a amazing amount of drive and determination to develop their nation into the best country it can possibly be. This passion that ignited this country came from one man, Nelson Mandela spent 27 years on the tiny Island that you can see in the picture above. If you are interested in the history of South Africa then you should visit Robben Island. The boats leave from the waterfront twice a day, as you are travelling in high season we highly recommend booking online well in advice, this is easily done on the link below.
