Private Snorkeling Adventure to Changu Island Tanzania
One of the few places in the world where you can interact closely with free-roaming giant tortoises — some over a century old.
Originally a gift from Seychelles, these tortoises now live in a conservation sanctuary on the island.
The “Vanishing Island” Experience Nakupenda Sandbank appears only at low tide — it’s a temporary island in the middle of the Indian Ocean.
Prison Island offers a glimpse into Zanzibar’s dark past, from the slave trade era to colonial quarantine practices.
The contrast between the solemn history and the beautiful surroundings makes for a thought-provoking yet scenic stop.
Enjoy a fresh seafood grill on the sandbank, prepared by locals — a rare, barefoot dining experience surrounded by water.
Combines heritage + nature + beach escape in a single tour, which appeals to a wide range of travelers: history buffs, beach lovers, families, honeymooners, and photographers.
