Prison Island and Nakupenda Sandbank Tour from Stone Town

If you’re looking for the perfect combination of culture, history, and tropical beauty, Best Buy Safaris invites you to join the Prison Island and Nakupenda Sandbank Tour from Stone Town, one of Zanzibar’s most loved day excursions. Your adventure begins in Stone Town, where our guide welcomes you and takes you on a scenic boat ride across the Indian Ocean to Prison Island (Changuu). As you step ashore, you’ll discover the island’s fascinating history, once a detention center and now home to the world-famous giant Aldabra tortoises, some over a century old. You’ll have time to feed and photograph them while learning about the island’s colonial heritage.

Next, your journey continues to the breathtaking Nakupenda Sandbank, a natural wonder where soft white sand meets turquoise seas. Here, you can snorkel among colorful coral reefs, swim in the warm ocean, or simply relax under the sun while our team prepares a delicious seafood buffet lunch featuring fresh fish, lobster, tropical fruits, and refreshing drinks. As the tide shifts, you’ll witness the magical moment when the sandbank begins to vanish beneath the water, a sight that makes this trip truly unforgettable.
