Easy

Start at Forodhani Garden, then sail to Nakupenda Island for snorkeling and relaxation. Visit Prison Island to explore the slave prison ruins and meet giant tortoises. Enjoy a Swahili buffet lunch to wrap up your day. Transfers available for convenience.
This experience offers a rare blend of Zanzibar’s natural beauty, cultural heritage, and marine adventure — all in one unforgettable day. What sets it apart is the chance to visit two iconic destinations in a single trip:

Nakupenda Sandbank, a stunning, vanishing sand island surrounded by turquoise waters, offers a chance to relax, snorkel, and enjoy fresh tropical refreshments in an untouched setting that literally disappears with the tide.

Prison Island (Changuu) adds a rich historical layer to the journey, where you can explore 19th-century ruins and interact with the famous Aldabra giant tortoises, some over 100 years old.

The experience is enhanced by sailing on a traditional Swahili dhow, indulging in a homemade Swahili buffet, and taking in panoramic ocean views throughout the day.

This isn’t just a beach trip — it’s a full sensory journey through Zanzibar’s history, wildlife, and natural wonders, perfect for couples, families, and curious travelers alike.
