Prison Island Half-Day Tour with Transfer Included - Zanzibar
A trip to Stone Town takes you to the enchanting Prison Island, a serene getaway brimming with history and natural beauty. Home to Aldabra tortoises, which were brought over from the Seychelles in 1919, these majestic creatures roam freely across the island. Located just half an hour from Stone Town, it’s the perfect destination for snorkeling in crystal-clear waters and relaxing on the quiet shores for some sunbathing.
Prison Island is rich in historical significance. Originally used as a quarantine station, the British later constructed a prison on the island in the 1890s, though it was never actually used. Today, visitors can explore the ruins of the prison while soaking in the lush, scenic environment, making it a beloved spot for both history buffs and nature enthusiasts.
