Robben Island Museum (RIM) will suspend all public tours to perform maintenance and renovations ahead of the G20 Summit in November. Tours will be suspended from June 16 until September 1 as RIM prepares to host G20 dignitaries from around the world.
“The decision to suspend tours was not taken lightly,” said RIM in a statement. “While this disruption may disrupt some plans, it prioritises safety, preservation and long-term benefit. We look forward to welcoming visitors back on September 1, 2025 with renewed purpose, enhanced facilities and an enriched visitor experience that reflects the significance of Robben Island as a global symbol of freedom and resilience.”
RIM says visitors who booked tickets during this period will be refunded in full. Credit card payments will be refunded via transaction reversal. EFT reversals require client approval.
