Your adventure begins at the iconic Forodhani Gardens, where you’ll hop aboard a traditional dhow and cruise through crystal-clear turquoise waters to Nakupenda Sandbank—a breathtaking, powder-white sandbar that disappears with the tide. Unwind on the soft sands, snorkel through vibrant coral reefs teeming with tropical fish, and savor fresh tropical fruits, local bread, refreshing juices, and spiced ginger tea right on the beach. Next, sail to the historic Prison Island (Changuu), once used to detain enslaved people. Wander through ancient ruins and meet the island’s legendary Aldabra giant tortoises—some over 100 years old! Enjoy a stroll along the serene shoreline or a refreshing dip in the ocean, followed by a mouthwatering Swahili-style buffet lunch with soft drinks. This unforgettable full-day tour offers the perfect mix of relaxation, culture, and island adventure—ideal for couples, families, or solo travelers seeking the best of Zanzibar.
