Prison Island & Stone Town Tour

Tour Highlights

Prison Island – Prison Island takes its name from the prison built to condemn Zanzibar citizens to the island’s isolation, looking out at the coast. The prison was never used, and the Island is now home to a tortoise sanctuary, prison ruins, and a hotel. It is a 20-minute boat ride from Stone Town and has spectacular coral reefs for snorkeling. Giant Aldabra tortoises shuffle through the trees, with the patience that old age brings you. Some of these tortoises are said to be over 100 years old. Lunch is available on the island at your own cost. If you’re feeling active, you can snorkel in the crystal clear waters in search of colorful tropical fish darting through the reef or soak up some sun on the white sandy beach. The Prison Island Excursion is a great companion to a morning Stone Town Tour. After an eventful morning of walking through the busy streets of Zanzibar, you can enjoy this slow and relaxing island excursion. Stone Town – enjoy a walking tour in the World Heritage Site of Zanzibar’s ancient town. You will visit different historical sites, the bustling market, the House of Wonders, the Palace Museum, and the site of the former slave market at the Anglican Cathedral Church. Enjoy walking through the narrow streets to explore the curved Zanzibar doors and different fascinating building architectures. Shopping is among the highlights of the tour; from several bazaars, you can shop for clothes, materials, carvings, paintings, and expensive jewelry. Also, you can enjoy a variety of foods and drinks from different restaurants at your own cost.
