Stone Town Tour - Nakupenda and Prison Island
- Meet the tour guide, experience a unique place called Prison Island, and learn more about Zanzibar's history. Prison Island gets its name from the prison built to condemn Zanzibari citizens to be isolated from the island. The prison was previously owned by an Arab to house his rebellious slaves, the prison was never actually used, and the island is now home to a tortoise sanctuary and a hotel. Prison Island is 20 minutes away from Stone Town by boat and has spectacular coral reefs for you to enjoy. Giant tortoises shuffle through the trees, with the infinite patience that old age brings. Originally thought to be from the Comoros Islands and Seychelles, some of these tortoises are thought to be over 100 years old.
- After the trip to the tortoise sanctuary, you're left to explore the island. If you're feeling active, you can follow one of the hiking trails, snorkel in the crystal clear waters in search of colourful tropical fish darting through the reef or soak up some sun on the white beach.
(Note: The final price for the activity depends on the number of people and the transfer needed.)
