What you can expect

  • Experience a packed full-day trip by boat as you head to Prison Island and Nakupenda Sanbdank Beach from Stone Town. Take a tour of the old prison, interact with local tortoises, and enjoy lunch, snorkelling, and more.

    Board your comfortable boat and set off from the shores of Stone Town. Relax as the boat glides over the azure waters of the Indian Ocean, offering stunning views of the coastline.

    Dock at Prison Island and admire its lush greenery before taking a tour of the prison. Explore the old cells, hear stories about the prisoners, and learn about the island's transformation over the years.

    Next, get ready for an up-close encounter with giant Aldabra tortoises, some of which are over a century old. Feed and interact with these magnificent creatures.

    Have some time on the scenic beach at your leisure. Take a swim in the crystal-clear waters or explore the island's nature trails.

    Head back to the boat for the journey to Nakupenda Sandbank. Once there, step onto the soft, untouched beach and get ready for a picnic lunch. Feast on a delicious spread of local seafood delicacies.

    After lunch, make use of the snorkelling equipment to explore the vibrant underwater world surrounding the sandbank. Relax on the sand, sunbathe, or engage in water activities like beach volleyball or paddleboarding. End your day with a return to Stone Town on the boat.
