Overview
Combine history and pristine relaxation in one seamless day trip. Take a short boat ride from Stone Town to Changuu Island (Prison Island), originally built as a prison for rebellious slaves but later used as a quarantine station. Today, it serves as a sanctuary for giant Aldabra tortoises—some over 150 years old. Afterward, cruise to the breathtaking Nakupenda (“I Love You”) Sandbank for sunbathing, swimming, and a freshly prepared seafood barbecue cooked right on the white sands.
