Discover two of Zanzibar’s most popular island and beach attractions on an unforgettable Prison Island and Nakupenda Beach experience, complete with a delicious seafood BBQ lunch.

Your adventure begins with a boat trip from Zanzibar toward Prison Island, also known as Changuu Island. Enjoy the beautiful views of the Indian Ocean as you travel across the turquoise waters toward the island.

Once you arrive at Prison Island, explore the island with your guide and learn about its fascinating history. The island was originally developed as a quarantine station and later became an important historical site. Walk around the island, discover its old buildings, and hear interesting stories about its past.

One of the highlights of Prison Island is the opportunity to see the famous giant Aldabra tortoises. Get close to these impressive animals, observe them as they move around the island, and take memorable photographs. The tortoises are one of the most popular attractions on Changuu Island and make this visit especially enjoyable for families, couples, and wildlife lovers.

After exploring Prison Island, continue by boat toward Nakupenda Beach, a beautiful white sandbank located in the waters near Stone Town. Depending on the tide and sea conditions, the shape and size of the sandbank can change throughout the day.

Arrive at Nakupenda and enjoy time on the soft white sand surrounded by crystal-clear turquoise water. Swim, relax, walk along the sandbank, take photographs, or simply enjoy the beautiful views of the Indian Ocean.

A delicious seafood BBQ lunch is served during your time at Nakupenda Beach. Enjoy freshly prepared seafood and other local dishes while sitting close to the ocean. The menu may include grilled fish, prawns, squid, octopus, and other seafood depending on the day's availability, together with accompanying side dishes.

After lunch, you will have more free time to swim in the warm turquoise waters, relax on the sand, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the beach. Fresh tropical fruits may also be served, adding a refreshing touch to your island experience.

Throughout the day, enjoy the combination of history, giant tortoises, boat rides, swimming, white sand, turquoise water, and a freshly prepared seafood BBQ lunch.
