Just a 20-minute boat ride from Stone Town, Prison Island (also known as Changuu Island) is a popular day-trip destination rich in history and natural beauty. Originally intended as a prison in the 19th century, the island is now famous for its giant Aldabra tortoises, some over 150 years old. Visitors can explore the old prison ruins, snorkel in the surrounding coral reefs, and relax on the island’s beautiful beach. A perfect blend of culture, wildlife, and leisure in one unforgettable trip.
