Changuu Island (Prison Island) Tour Located about 30 minutes by boat from Stone Town, Changuu Island—commonly known as Prison Island—is one of Zanzibar’s most popular attractions.br>
On this guided full day tours, you’ll explore the island’s fascinating history and discover its famous giant Aldabra tortoises, which roam freely around the island. Originally owned by an Arab for the incarceration of rebellious slaves (although no prisoners were ever held there), the island later served as a quarantine station during yellow fever outbreaks. In 1893, General Lloyd Mathews purchased the island and built the prison that still stands today, giving the island its name.

Nyundo Sandbank (also spelled Nyundo Island) is a hidden gem off the coast of Zanzibar — a pristine tidal sandbank that appears like magic when the tide is low, creating a breathtaking floating beach surrounded by the endless turquoise Indian Ocean.

Seaside Journey:
Your adventure begins with a convenient hotel pickup and a short road transfer to the departure point. From there, hop aboard a comfortable boat and glide across clear blue waters, with salty breezes and stunning views all around.

White Sands & Crystal Waters:
When you arrive, you’ll step onto powdery white sands surrounded by shallow, crystal-clear water — a perfect spot to sunbathe, swim, and snap those dreamy photos that look straight out of a postcard.

Beach Picnic:
Savor a delicious picnic lunch right on the sandbank, featuring fresh local seafood, tropical fruits, and refreshing soft drinks, juices, or water. Nothing tastes better than seafood with your toes in the sand!

Swim & Explore:
Take a dip in the warm, shallow waters, stroll the sandbank’s ever-changing shoreline, and capture unforgettable memories of this fleeting paradise that appears and disappears with the tide.
