What to expect

Set off on an unforgettable Zanzibar journey that weaves together the natural splendor of Nakupenda Sandbank and the historical charm of Prison Island (Changuu).
Your adventure begins at Forodhani Gardens, where you’ll cruise over the crystal-clear waters of the Indian Ocean to reach Nakupenda—a stunning sandbank that disappears with the tide. Bask in the sun on its powdery white sands, snorkel among vibrant marine life, and enjoy refreshing tropical fruits, homemade bread, ginger tea, and fresh juices.

Next, step aboard a traditional Swahili dhow and sail to Prison Island. Wander through the remains of the old slave prison and meet the island’s famous Aldabra giant tortoises, some of which are over 100 years old. Unwind on the beach or take a dip in the sea before savoring a mouthwatering Swahili buffet lunch, served with soft drinks.

This tour offers a perfect mix of leisure, culture, and exploration—an ideal way to experience the magic of Zanzibar’s coast. Hotel transfers are available upon request.
