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. We'll set sail for Prison Island.

We'll sail the Indian Ocean for about 20 minutes until we reach Changuu Island, also known as Prison Island, which was once used as a prison for slaves and a quarantine centre for people with yellow fever.

We'll visit one of its biggest attractions: the giant tortoises, imported from Seychelles in the late 19th century. Next, we'll go snorkelling to discover the area's marine life.

Then we'll get back on the boat and sail to Nakupenda Beach. Here we'll have time to relax in the Tanzanian sun or swim in the turquoise waters, followed by a delicious lunch of fish and tropical fruits.

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