Prison Island Experience Half Day Tour With Transfer - Zanzibar
A visit to Stone Town will bring you to the captivating Prison Island, a tranquil escape brimming with history and natural beauty.

Just a short 30-minute boat ride from Stone Town, it’s a fantastic spot for snorkeling in its crystal-clear waters and relaxing on its serene beaches.
The island has a rich historical background.
