Description

Escape to the hidden treasures of Zanzibar on this unforgettable half-day adventure that blends history, nature, and pure relaxation. Begin your journey with a scenic boat ride over the sparkling Indian Ocean to the historic Prison Island, once a place of exile and quarantine. Today, it’s a peaceful sanctuary where you can encounter the island’s most famous residents – the gentle giant Aldabra tortoises, some of which are over a century old. After soaking in the history and natural charm of Prison Island, set sail to the breathtaking Nakupenda Sandbank – a true paradise surrounded by crystal-clear waters and soft white sands. Here, you’ll have time to swim, sunbathe, snorkel, or simply unwind in a setting that feels like a dream. This half-day experience is perfect for travelers seeking a short but memorable escape into Zanzibar’s coastal beauty and cultural heritage.
