Nakupenda & Prison Island; Giant Tortoises & Crystal Waters

Explore two of Zanzibar’s most iconic island experiences in one unforgettable boat trip from Stone Town.

This tour combines a visit to Prison Island, home to the famous Aldabra giant tortoises, with time to relax at Nakupenda Sandbank, a stunning stretch of white sand surrounded by crystal-clear turquoise water. Depending on the tide, the order of the stops may vary. Guests can explore the historic island, meet the giant tortoises, swim in the warm Indian Ocean, and relax on the beautiful sandbank while enjoying fresh tropical fruit.

It’s the perfect mix of history, wildlife and Zanzibar’s famous turquoise waters.
