What you can expect

Your guide will share stories of sultans, explorers, and the slave trade as you stroll past landmarks like the Old Fort and House of Wonders.

    Next, board a traditional wooden dhow to Prison Island, famous for its giant Aldabra tortoises and turquoise waters. Learn about the island’s unique history and enjoy time for photos and snorkeling in the clear lagoon.

    Afterward, sail to Nakupenda Sandbank, a breathtaking stretch of white sand surrounded by crystal blue sea. Relax, sunbathe, swim, and enjoy a delicious seafood lunch prepared on-site. This full-day tour combines culture, history, and natural beauty, offering a complete Zanzibar experience before your return to Stone Town.
