Your adventure begins with a scenic boat ride from Stone Town to Prison Island, also known as Changuu Island.
Originally intended to serve as a prison in the 1890s, the island later became a quarantine station. Today, it is best known for its population of giant Aldabra tortoises, some of which are over 100 years old.
You will have the opportunity to:
- Feed and take photos with the giant tortoises
- Explore the historic prison ruins
- Swim in clear blue waters
- Snorkel around the island’s coral reefs
- Relax on the peaceful beach
This tour is perfect for travelers looking for history, nature, and relaxation in one short excursion.
