What you can expect

  • Enjoy your well-organized full-day boat trip from Stone Town to Prison Island and the romantic Nakupenda Sandbank. Watch turtles, go snorkeling, sunbathe, and enjoy a lunch of grilled seafood and fresh tropical fruits.
    Take a boat ride from Stone Town directly to the famous historic prison on Changuu Island, commonly known as Prison Island. Explore the ancient prison ruins built by the British colony of Zanzibar.

    You will then visit a sanctuary for Aldabra tortoises – one of the largest tortoises in the world, weighing up to 200 kilograms (440 pounds) and also considered one of the longest-lived creatures in the world. The oldest tortoise is over 196 years old. Learn more about these giant tortoises, which were brought to Zanzibar from the Seychelles.

    You will also discover peacocks with large, vibrant feathers, which make them a symbol of beauty, royalty and good fortune on Prison Island. Interact with these amazing creatures and take photos.

    End your day at Nakupenda Sandbank and its crystal-clear blue water, which is ideal for snorkeling, sunbathing, swimming and relaxing. Later, treat yourself to a lunch of fresh seafood, seasonal tropical fruits, and soft drinks.
