What you can expect

  • Discover the best of Zanzibar Stone Town Tour, Prison Island & Nakupenda Sandbank with BBQ.

    Start your unforgettable Zanzibar adventure with a scenic boat ride to Prison Island, also known as Changuu Island. Famous for its giant Aldabra tortoises, some over a century old, the island offers a unique chance to get close to these gentle giants and take amazing photos. Stroll along the sandy paths and enjoy the serene surroundings of an island steeped in history, once used as a prison and a quarantine station during Zanzibar’s colonial era.

    Next, sail to the breathtaking Nakupenda Sandbank, a pristine stretch of soft white sand appearing like a dream in the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. Relax under the sun, take a refreshing swim in calm, warm waters, or simply unwind while soaking in the stunning ocean views. While you enjoy this tropical paradise, our team will prepare a fresh seafood BBQ on the sandbank, featuring locally sourced fish, lobster, prawns, octopus, and seasonal fruits, served with refreshing drinks, offering an authentic taste of Zanzibar by the sea.

    After indulging in sun, sea, and delicious cuisine, return to Stone Town, the historic heart of Zanzibar and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Explore its narrow, winding streets filled with vibrant markets, spice shops, and colonial-era buildings. Visit iconic landmarks such as the Old Slave Market, House of Wonders, Old Fort, and Sultan’s Palace, while your expert guide shares fascinating stories of Zanzibar’s rich history, from sultans to explorers to traders.

    This full-day tour offers the perfect balance of nature, relaxation, and culture. Encounter wildlife and history on Prison Island, bask in the beauty of Nakupenda Sandbank, and immerse yourself in the charm of Stone Town.
    Whether you’re a history lover, beach enthusiast, or foodie, this experience promises unforgettable memories and a true taste of Zanzibar.
