Prison Island Tour

4 Hours

Discover one of Zanzibar’s most fascinating attractions with the Prison Island Tour, a perfect blend of history, relaxation, and wildlife. Located just 20–30 minutes by boat from Stone Town, Changuu Island, commonly known as Prison Island, offers beautiful turquoise waters, a peaceful atmosphere, and a chance to encounter the famous Aldabra Giant Tortoises, some over 150 years old.

Originally built in the 1890s as a prison (which was never used), the island later became a quarantine station during the cholera outbreak. Today, it stands as a protected nature sanctuary and a serene escape from the busy streets of Stone Town. Guests can enjoy snorkeling, swimming, sunbathing, and exploring the island’s historical buildings.
