Our experience at Robben Island was deeply disappointing and upsetting. My mother is a paraplegic and uses a wheelchair, yet despite this being communicated, everyone else was taken first and we were left waiting with no proper explanation or consideration. When they finally assisted us, instead of providing a suitable and safe vehicle, they used a higher vehicle that was clearly not appropriate for a wheelchair user. This resulted in my mother injuring her legs, which is completely unacceptable and could have been avoided with proper planning and basic disability awareness. For a site of such historical importance, the lack of accessibility, poor organisation, and disregard for disabled visitors is shocking. Wheelchair users and their families should not be treated as an afterthought or placed in unsafe situations. I would not recommend Robben Island to anyone travelling with a wheelchair user until serious improvements are mad in staff training, accessibility, and disa sensitive transport.

So we booked tickets online, the day when we were supposed to go on the island they cancelled all the trips for that day and they said a refund was processed however it’s been 7 working days yet the funds are still not reflecting. The ladies that answer the phone are rude and don’t have telephone etiquette, and some of the ladies that work there are very rude. So disappointed in this organisation. We just want our refund

On April 03 Monday I booked ticket on their website they over charged me R2020. I called and they acknowledged that there is an error on their website they see the amount that is overcharged and they issuing refund I must wait for an email confirmation regarding the refund . On Tuesday I went to their offices to check if refund was processed because no email confirmation was sent, I was helped by a Sotho guy who said refund is issued and it will reflect within 3 business days because they’re using Nedbank and I am also using Nedbank. Still today I haven’t received my money it’s been over 5 business days, I have been calling their office since yesterday no one is picking up, sent an email and I received email telling me to check my bank statement am I dumb to contact them without checking my bank first. I want my money

Purchased tickets for robben island via your website, trip was cancelled due to winds and boats where not going to robben island. They processed the refund procedure on the 23 oct 2017 till today the money is not reflecting back. Whenever i call robben islands they say they processed it and the problem is webtickets. As it shows refunded from their side, please refund my R2040

The website was unresponsive and prevented me from booking a tour. Was not able to even register to login. Had to go down to the wTer front and heard several people in line complainin about not being able to book online. Unacceptable in peak holiday season!

We missed our trip by accidentally getting the date wrong on our ticket. We're Cape Townians and always support our city's sites. We now have to rebook and ofcourse repay. Rescheduling without payment wasn't even an option. We're deeply saddened and disappointed. This term and condition should at least be revised by the company.
