Overview

This is full-day combined experience tour where we will take you to three of Zanzibar’s most iconic destinations: Stone Town, Prison Island, and Nakupenda Sandbank.

With this tour you will have the opportunity to blend the rich history, vibrant culture, and stunning natural beauty of Zanzibar into one seamless adventure.

Stone Town

Begin your day with a captivating exploration of Stone Town, the historic heart of Zanzibar.

Wander through narrow, winding streets lined with beautifully carved wooden doors, bustling bazaars, and ancient buildings that tell stories of the island’s diverse heritage.

Visit the House of Wonders, the Sultan’s Palace, and the Old Fort, each a testament to Zanzibar’s unique blend of African, Arab, Indian, and European influences.

Our knowledgeable guide will provide fascinating insights into the history and culture of this UNESCO World Heritage Site, ensuring you don’t miss any of its hidden gems.

Prison Island

Next, we set sail for Prison Island, also known as Changuu Island.

Once a quarantine station for yellow fever, this small island is now a serene sanctuary for the endangered Aldabra giant tortoises.

Meet these gentle giants, some of which are over a hundred years old, and learn about the island’s intriguing past.

The crystal-clear waters surrounding the island also offer excellent snorkeling opportunities, where you can discover vibrant coral reefs teeming with marine life.

Nakupenda Sandbank

The final leg of our journey brings you to the pristine Nakupenda Sandbank, a paradise of soft white sands and turquoise waters.

Here, you can unwind and soak up the sun, swim in the warm Indian Ocean, or snorkel in the shallow waters to observe the colorful underwater world.

Enjoy a sumptuous seafood lunch freshly prepared by our crew, featuring local delicacies and tropical fruits.

As you relax and take in the breathtaking views, you’ll understand why Nakupenda means “I love you” in Swahili – it’s a place that captures the heart.
