Activity itinerary

Prison Island - Changuu Private Island

  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
Prison Island got its name from the prison built to separate Zanzibar citizens to the isolation of the Island looking out at the coast. Previously owned by Arab to house his rebellious slaves, the prison was never used and the Island is now home to a tortoise sanctuary and prison ruins. Prison Island is 30 minutes away from stone town by local boat. Originally thought to be from the Islands of Seychelles some of these tortoises are said to be over 100 years old. .The prison Island is a great companion to a morning city tour. After an eventful morning of walking through the busy streets of Zanzibar, you can enjoy this slow and relaxing island excursion.
