Tour Details

At the indicated time, we'll pick you up at your hotel on the island of Zanzibar and proceed to the port of Forodhani, where a boat will be waiting. After about 20 minutes of sailing through the Indian Ocean, we'll arrive at Prison Island, also known locally as Changuu Island, which served as a prison for slaves and quarantine center for yellow fever patients.

The island features a sanctuary of giant tortoises, imported from the Seychelles in the late 19th century. Following this visit, we will return to the boat and head to Nakupenda Beach, where you will have approximately 2 hours of free time to relax or swim in the turquoise waters.

After your free time, we will enjoy a beach lunch that includes grilled fish and seafood, vegetables, fruits, and soft drinks.

Once lunch is completed, we'll return to the departure pier and take you back to your hotel, concluding this 8-hour activity.
