Prison Island Tour - Highlights

 

horizontal rule

This half a day tour boat ride to the island in a small wooden motorized boat is a must when visiting Zanzibar .  Earning its namesake as a former prison for slaves, and a quarantine station for Kenya , Uganda and then Tanganyika , nowadays the island gives you the chance to escape for some peace and quiet!  A hundred year old Giant Tortoises act as unlikely vigilant over the island and you cannot not help but wonder what tales they would tell if only they could talk! Approximately one kilometer long and a quarter of a kilometer wide, the location is perfect for swimming & snorkeling after a stroll round the island. Keep the best till last because it really is like diving into champagne the water is so clear
