Stone Town & Prison Island Tour

Explore two significant sites in Zanzibar: Stone Town and Prison Island.

Walking Tour of Stone Town & Boat Ride to Prison Island

You will be picked up from your hotel in Zanzibar at the scheduled time and proceed to Stone Town, the historic center of the capital for a guided walking tour.

During the tour, the history and architecture of notable landmarks will be explained, including the House of Wonders, now housing the Museum of History and Culture of Zanzibar and the Swahili Coast, the Palace Museum, the Old Fort, and the Anglican Cathedral, where we will view the monument to the slaves.

Following the Stone Town tour, we will head to the port for a 20-minute boat ride to Prison Island, which was formerly a prison for rebellious slaves and later a quarantine station for yellow fever. Today, it serves as a resort and is home to endangered giant tortoises.

We will then return to Stone Town and take you back to your hotel after a total of 6 hours.
