Prison Island Zanzibar

A short boat ride from Stone Town, Prison Island is home to Aldabra tortoises, brought from Seychelles in 1919. Just half an hour away, it’s a perfect destination for snorkeling and sunbathing.

Today, visitors can explore the historic ruins and soak in the island’s natural beauty.
