What you can expect

Begin your adventure with a boat ride to Prison Island (Changuu Island), once used as a quarantine station and prison in the 19th century. Explore the island’s historic ruins and meet the giant Aldabra tortoises, some over 150 years old.

Next, head to Cave, a hidden gem surrounded by lush vegetation. Swim in the crystal-clear freshwater pool and learn about the cultural history of this sacred site.

Finally, visit the breathtaking Blue Lagoon, famous for its calm, clear waters and vibrant marine life. Relax on the beach, snorkel among colorful fish, and visit Starfish Beach or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings before heading back to your hotel.
