Prison island & Nakupenda sandbank

Discover two of Zanzibar’s most iconic attractions in one day — the historic Prison Island (Changuu Island) and the breathtaking Nakupenda Sandbank.

Your adventure begins with a scenic boat ride from Stone Town to Prison Island, once used as a quarantine station. Today, it is home to the famous giant Aldabra tortoises, some of which are more than 100 years old. Walk among these gentle creatures, feed them, and learn about their fascinating history. You’ll also explore the old prison ruins and enjoy the island’s peaceful atmosphere surrounded by turquoise waters.

After your island visit, set sail to the stunning Nakupenda Sandbank, a natural paradise that appears and disappears with the tides. Here, you’ll step onto powdery white sands surrounded by crystal-clear waters — the perfect spot for relaxation and adventure. Swim, sunbathe, snorkel over vibrant coral reefs, or simply enjoy the tranquility of this unique sandbank. A delicious seafood lunch (optional, depending on package) is often prepared fresh on-site, making your experience even more special.

This tour is the ultimate blend of nature, relaxation, and adventure, offering unforgettable memories of Zanzibar’s beauty.
