This excursion merges three unique Zanzibar experiences, allowing you to discover them all in one day, accompanied by our experienced and accredited guide.
Our journey begins in Stone Town, where we board a powered boat for a 25-minute journey to Prison Island. There, we explore the Giant Land Tortoises’ Sanctuary, admire peacocks, inspect the historical prison remains, and relax on the beach. We then take another boat ride lasting approximately 35 minutes to Nakupenda. This location is where we spend the bulk of our time, engaging in activities such as swimming, snorkeling, photography, and savoring a seafood lunch complemented with a beach barbecue, all arranged by our crew. Finally, we circle back to Stone Town, which marks the conclusion of our tour. In this final phase, we visit various heritage sites, little markets, gift shops, and the Stone Town Market, with guidance from our skilled guide.
