Robben Island Swim

Swim the iconic 7.4km crossing from Robben Island to Blouberg.

Bookings:

Your booking includes boat support for the swim, and you can select to do a solo crossing (on your own), or to share a boat with up to 2 swimmers (i.e. maximum 3 swimmers per boat).

Swim dates:

Please note that booking dates are guidelines only. Swims will depend on conditions (wind, swell, water temperature etc.), and it cannot be guaranteed that your swim will take place within the allocated range. The organizer will choose the most suitable, available day and will contact you about final plans.

Swim Overview:

You'll meet your skipper at the Water Club next to the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town. From there you'll take a 30 minute boat ride to the island, swim a short distance to shore, from where you'll start your swim. After finishing in Blouberg, you can either swim back to the boat to catch a ride back to the Water Club, or you can arrange for friends or family to meet you at Big Bay Beach.
