Experience the allure of Prison Island, one of Zanzibar’s most iconic destinations, on this engaging half-day trip from Stone Town. Just a quick 30-minute boat ride across turquoise waters, Changuu Island offers a memorable mix of history, wildlife, and scenic beauty. Start your visit with a walk among the island’s famous Aldabra giant tortoises, originally brought from the Seychelles in 1919. Some over a century old, these gentle creatures roam freely, offering fantastic photo opportunities and a rare up-close encounter with one of nature’s wonders. Continue with a guided tour of the historic prison buildings and the former quarantine station, gaining insight into the island’s colonial-era significance. After exploring, take time to enjoy the natural side of the island—snorkel in the clear waters, discovering vibrant marine life, or relax on the white-sand beach while soaking in panoramic views of the Indian Ocean. Blending rich heritage, unique wildlife, and laid-back coastal charm, this four-hour getaway offers a well-rounded taste of Zanzibar’s island magic.
