Prison Island Zanzibar day trip is a day tour to Prison Island (Changuu Island) located 20 minutes (3.5 miles/ 6 kms) away from Stone Town by boat and has spectacular coral reefs to enjoy while snorkeling.

On your way by boat to prison Island, you will have beautiful panoramic views of Stone Town. Prison Island (Changuu Island) has dark history. Once the island was used by Arab slave traders to detain slaves prior sending them to new owners in Middle East and Europe.

The Island gets its name from the prison built to condemn Zanzibar citizens to the isolation of the island, looking out at the coast.  Previously owned by an Arab to house his rebellious slaves, the prison was never used, and the island is now home to a tortoise sanctuary, prison ruins and hotel.

Today Prison Island is a nature reserve and home to the endangered Aldabra giant tortoises that are to be found nowhere else in East Africa.

The oldest turtle on the Prison Island is 150 years old. You may feed and touch the giant tortoises however riding them or sitting on them is not allowed.

Prison Island Zanzibar day trip is a half day excursion and includes visiting the historical prison buildings, meet the giant tortoise in their sanctuary, snorkel in the colorful coral reefs nearby and enjoy the beautiful Indian Ocean.
