Prison Island & Nakupenda Sandbank

Tour Overview

This full-day combined experience takes you to two of Zanzibar's most iconic destinations: Prison Island (Changuu Island) and the spectacular Nakupenda Sandbank. It's the perfect blend of history, wildlife, and beach relaxation.

Prison Island, located just a short boat ride from Stone Town, is home to giant Aldabra tortoises, some over 100 years old. The island has a fascinating history as a former slave holding area and later a quarantine station. Today, it's a sanctuary where you can interact with these gentle giants and explore the island's lush grounds.

After your tortoise encounter, sail to Nakupenda Sandbank – a stunning strip of white sand that emerges during low tide. Here you'll enjoy a delicious seafood lunch, swim in crystal-clear turquoise waters, and soak up the tropical sun in one of the most picturesque settings in Zanzibar.
