Half Day

PRISON ISLAND TOUR

$50
Person

Description

Set sail for a half-day adventure to the legendary Prison Island, a stunning little paradise just off the coast of Zanzibar Town. This island holds secrets of the past — once planned as a prison, it was never used as one. Instead, it became a quarantine station for enslaved people from across East Africa. Today, the haunting remains of old buildings whisper stories of a bygone era. But there’s much more to this island than its history. Feel the thrill as you dive into crystal-clear waters, perfect for swimming and snorkeling around vibrant coral reefs teeming with marine life. Wander along a soft, sandy beach and soak up breathtaking views of Zanzibar Town, especially as the sun dips toward the horizon. One of the island’s biggest highlights is meeting its famous residents — giant Aldabra tortoises, some over 100 years old. Under careful conservation, these gentle giants roam freely, offering an unforgettable wildlife encounter.

Join a guided tour around the island to unlock its secrets, snap incredible photos, and create memories you’ll carry long after your adventure ends.
