What to expect

Embark on an unforgettable day exploring two of Zanzibar’s most stunning coastal gems—Nakupenda Sandbank and Prison Island (Changuu). Your adventure begins at Forodhani Gardens, where you’ll board a traditional boat and cruise through crystal-clear turquoise waters.

First stop: Nakupenda, a breathtaking sandbank that appears with the tide. Lounge on powdery white sands, swim in the warm Indian Ocean, and snorkel alongside vibrant tropical fish. Enjoy light refreshments including tropical fruits, homemade bread, fresh juices, and spiced ginger tea—perfect for recharging under the sun.

Next, sail to historic Prison Island, once used as a detention center and now a peaceful sanctuary. Discover its haunting ruins and meet the island’s star residents—the giant Aldabra tortoises, some over 100 years old. Relax with a beach stroll or quick swim before savoring a flavorful Swahili buffet lunch with soft drinks.

With its mix of natural beauty, marine adventure, and cultural history, this tour offers one of the most memorable ways to experience Zanzibar’s coastline. Optional hotel transfers included for a hassle-free day.
