What to expect

begin an unforgettable Zanzibar adventure that brings together the stunning Nakupenda Sandbank and the historic Prison Island (Changuu). Start your journey at Forodhani Gardens and glide across the clear turquoise waters to Nakupenda, a pristine sandbank that disappears during high tide. Unwind on its soft white sands, snorkel among vibrant marine life in the Indian Ocean, and enjoy refreshing tropical fruits, homemade bread, ginger tea, and fresh juices.

After soaking in this tropical paradise, board a traditional Swahili dhow and set sail for Prison Island. Discover the ruins of the old slave prison and meet the island’s famous Aldabra giant tortoises, some over a hundred years old. Take a leisurely walk along the beach or swim before enjoying a flavorful Swahili buffet lunch served with soft drinks.

Blending relaxation, culture, and adventure, this tour offers one of the most memorable ways to experience Zanzibar’s breathtaking coastline. Hotel transfers are available if selected.
