Changuu Island and Nakupenda Beach Trip

We'll pick you up from your Zanzibar hotel at the designated time and head towards the city harbour, where a boat will be waiting for us. We'll sail the Indian Ocean for about 20 minutes until we reach Changuu Island, also known as Prison Island, which was used as a prison for slaves and a quarantine centre for yellow fever.

We'll visit one of its biggest attractions: the giant tortoises, imported from Seychelles at the end of the 19th century. Next, we'll go snorkelling to discover the area's marine life, as the island was once a coral mine.

Then we'll sail to Nakupenda Beach, where we will have time to relax or swim in the turquoise waters. We will also enjoy a lunch of fish and tropical fruits.

At the end of the tour, we'll return to your hotel after a total of 8 hours.
