Descrizione
Discover Prison Island, home to giant Aldabra tortoises, crystal-clear waters, and rich history. Enjoy a scenic boat ride and unforgettable views just minutes from Stone Town.
The Prison Island Tour is one of the most popular excursions in Zanzibar, offering a perfect mix of history, nature, and relaxation. Located just 20–30 minutes by traditional boat from Stone Town, this beautiful island officially known as Changuu Island is a must-visit during your stay.
Originally built in the 1890s as a prison (though never fully used as one), the island later served as a quarantine station. Today, it is famous for its sanctuary of giant Aldabra giant tortoise, some of which are over 100 years old. You’ll have the chance to see, feed, and take photos with these gentle creatures while learning about their conservation.
Beyond its history, Prison Island is surrounded by turquoise waters and white sandy beaches. You can relax by the shore, swim in the clear Indian Ocean, and enjoy the peaceful island atmosphere with stunning views back toward Stone Town.
This tour is perfect for couples, families, and friends looking for a short yet memorable adventure close to Stone Town. Whether you’re interested in history, wildlife, or simply enjoying the tropical scenery, Prison Island offers a unique and unforgettable experience in Zanzibar.
