Your adventure begins with a short boat ride to Prison Island, located just off the coast of Stone Town. Originally built as a prison in the late 1800s, the island never served its intended purpose and instead became a quarantine station for yellow fever. Today, it is home to giant Aldabra tortoises, some of which are over 100 years old! You’ll have the chance to meet these gentle giants, learn about their conservation, and stroll around the island’s historical ruins.

After visiting Prison Island, head to the breathtaking Nakupenda Sandbank. This pristine sandbank is surrounded by azure waters, making it the perfect spot for relaxation and snorkeling. You’ll enjoy a delicious seafood lunch and fresh tropical fruits, while soaking in the sun on the white sand beach. Swim in the warm waters or explore the vibrant marine life with a snorkeling session, making this a truly unforgettable experience.
