Discover one of Zanzibar’s most fascinating islands on this enriching half-day tour to Prison Island, also known as Changuu Island. The experience begins with a convenient hotel pickup or meeting point at Stone Town Harbor, followed by a scenic 20-minute boat ride across the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. Upon arrival, explore the island’s historic prison ruins and learn about its past as a former detention site and later a British quarantine station during the colonial era.

The highlight of the visit is the Aldabra giant tortoise sanctuary, home to some of the oldest and largest tortoises in the world, with some living well over 150 years. Gain insight into their conservation, observe them up close, and capture memorable photos. Visitors may also spot elegant peacocks roaming the grounds while enjoying sweeping ocean views. The tour concludes with a relaxing boat ride back to Stone Town and a comfortable transfer to the hotel.
