Prison island and Nakupenda sand Bank

This private excursion pairs the historical intrigue of Prison Island with the pristine beauty of Nakupenda Sandbank. Your journey begins at Changuu Island, home to the weathered ruins of a 19th-century quarantine station. Here, you will encounter the famed Aldabra giant tortoises—majestic creatures, some over 150 years old, that form a rare sanctuary in the Indian Ocean. After exploring the island's past, you will boat to the Nakupenda Sandbank, a stunning ribbon of white sand that emerges from the turquoise tide. This leg of the tour is dedicated to relaxation and marine discovery, offering ample time to snorkel among vibrant coral reefs or swim in the clear, shallow waters. To complete the experience, a fresh seafood buffet featuring lobster, prawns, and seasonal fruits is prepared on-site and served with refreshments. It is a seamless blend of Zanzibar’s unique heritage and its most breathtaking natural landscapes, designed for an exclusive and leisurely pace.
