Discover one of Zanzibar’s most iconic landmarks on our Prison Island Tour, a perfect half-day escape combining rich history, wildlife, and breathtaking ocean views.

Depart from Stone Town on a scenic 20-minute boat ride over turquoise waters to reach Changuu Island, famously known as Prison Island. Once intended to be a prison for rebellious slaves and later a quarantine station, the island today is a peaceful haven filled with fascinating stories.

Meet the famous Aldabra giant tortoises, some over 180 years old! You’ll get the chance to get a picture and interact with these gentle giants—an unforgettable experience for all ages.
