- Meet your tour guide at your hotel in Zanzibar and start your tour to Prison Island.
- Visit Prison Island, which gets its name from the prison built to condemn Zanzibar citizens to the isolation of the island, looking out at the coast. The prison was never used, and the Island is now home to a tortoises sanctuary, prison ruins, and hotel.
- Take a 30-minute boat ride from Stone town and has spectacular coral reefs to enjoy while snorkelling. Giant Aldabra tortoises shuffle through the trees, with the patience that old age brings you. Some of these tortoises are said to be over 100 years old.
- Have lunch, which is available on the island at your own cost.
- If you’re feeling active, you can snorkel in the crystal clear waters in search of colourful tropical fish darting through the reef or soak up some sun on the white sand beach. The Prison Island Excursion is a great companion to a morning Stone town tour.
