Overview
This Zanzibar Prison Island Tour will offer you a myriad of attractions. The main ones include the Zanzibar tortoises, which many tourists are eager to see. The tortoise is said to have been on the island for over 150 years. These tortoises are really sociable, and you will be able to get close to them and see them up close.
Itinerary
Another main attraction during the Prison Island Tour is the historical site of the central prison of Zanzibar, from which the name of the tour derives. This was built back in 1893, but despite the fact that it has been named as a prison, it was never used as a prison in reality.
For those who love swimming and snorkelling, this is an ideal tour. If you snorkel around the prison, you will surely be intrigued by the sights you will see on Changuu Island. You will need to bear in mind the history of slavery, which is linked to this place. Simply relaxing or swimming are two options, allowing this tour to be ideal for anyone, regardless of their preference.
As this is a private tour, there is no set time. The tour may start anytime between 9 am and 4 pm.
The Prison Island tour in Zanzibar is a really interesting tour. While there is not a great deal to be done on the island itself, the sights this tour will be able to offer you are simply unique. Simply consider the tortoises, which are so old and big that they will surely intrigue you, and it is not easy to find them anywhere else. Secondly, there is the history of the island. Additionally, you may wish to note that the snorkelling you can do here is quite different from how you get to experience it in other places. The seafloor is filled with sea creatures, and so if you love snorkeling this trip is simply a must. The reef is particularly beautiful. The boat trip is also a pleasant experience as you get to see the area while enjoying the sea, the breeze and nature.
