Overview

This day trip combines the giant tortoises of Prison Island with swimming and lunch on Nakupenda sandbank.

Two of the most photographed places near Stone Town in one day. Your boat leaves Stone Town for Prison Island, where giant Aldabra tortoises live among the trees, and then continues to Nakupenda, a strip of white sand surrounded by clear water.

Nakupenda only appears when the tide is low, so the day is planned around the tide. You snorkel around the reef, swim and relax on the sand while a seafood lunch is prepared, before sailing back to Stone Town in the afternoon.

Highlights

  • Giant tortoises on Prison Island
  • Snorkeling around the reef
  • Swim and relax on Nakupenda sandbank
  • Seafood lunch on the sandbank

Good to know

  • Start time: 09:00.
  • The sandbank appears at low tide, so timings follow the tide on your date.
  • The boat usually leaves Stone Town around 09:00 and returns around 15:30.
  • Bring swimwear, a towel and sunscreen; there is little shade on the sandbank.
