Prison Island Tour
| Zanzibar Itineraries | Zanzibar Islands | Zanzibar Lodges |
This full day tour is a short boat trip (about 30 min.) Chumbe Island commonly known as Prison Island with its giant tortoises. Although the strucures on the island were originally built to be a prison, it was never operational. It was eventually used as a quarantine of slaves from Eastern Africa. You will be guided on a short tour around the historic island prison and see the remnants of these buildings and observe the endangered giant tortoises, which are under strict conservation. After your trek, you will be served food and drink on a sand bank , and have time to swim and snorkel in the coral reefs of the aquamarine waters. At dusk, the return boat trip offers a stunning view of Stone Town as your boat enters the dockings.
