Description
Nakupenda Sandbank & Prison Island Visit
Enjoy a scenic cruise on a traditional medium-sized wooden boat from the shores of Stone Town to two of Zanzibar’s most iconic attractions: Prison Island and the breathtaking Nakupenda Sandbank.
Your adventure begins with a visit to Prison Island, where you can explore its fascinating history and meet the island’s famous giant Aldabra tortoises, some of which are over 100 years old. You will also have time to enjoy the beautiful surroundings and crystal-clear waters around the island.
Afterward, continue your cruise to Nakupenda Sandbank, one of Zanzibar’s most beautiful natural attractions. Upon arrival, you’ll be surrounded by crystal-clear turquoise waters and powder-white sand — a perfect setting to relax, swim, snorkel, and soak up the sun. The calm, shallow waters make Nakupenda ideal for both experienced and beginner swimmers.
During the excursion, a delicious beach BBQ lunch is served, featuring freshly grilled seafood with local flavors, accompanied by fresh tropical fruits, soft drinks, and bottled water.
Take your time to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere, walk along the sandbank, swim in the warm Indian Ocean, or simply relax under the sun while admiring the stunning views around you.
Nakupenda — meaning “I love you” in Swahili — truly lives up to its name, offering a romantic and unforgettable experience, while Prison Island adds a unique historical and wildlife experience, making this tour one of the highlights of any visit to Zanzibar.
