In the morning, at the arranged time you will be picked by our guide for a driver over the Stone Town harbor, and the length of the drive will be 45 minutes. Once there, you will be able to embark an historical sailing “dhows”, and within 30 minutes of sailing, you will reach Prison Island. A quick walk and you will be able to discover Giant Aldabran Tortoise colony who have been living this island for more than 150 years. There is one in particular that has more than 190 years. Once on the island, you have the opportunity to feed and pet the tortoises; if you have time, you may also like to take a stroll through the forested interior where you will see a wide variety of birds, colorful peacocks, bats, and beautiful butterflies. Keep your eyes peeled too for the shy and elusive Duikers – an unusual tiny antelope species. It is fringed with a beautiful coral reef, ideal for snorkeling, and has a lovely white beach for sunbathing. This tour is a great way to see some history and wildlife, and to see Stone Town from the sea, as many old maritime legends would have done.
This tour is customized upon our firsthand knowledge & experience, offering you the best choices available on the island. The price of this trip varies depending on the number of people, dates of departure/Arrival and availability of ground services on the island.

Note;- Our clients are advised to wear their swimming costume, together with wearing waterproof sandals on boarding the dhows and to bring sunscreen. The Prison Island day trip can be combined with Jozani Forest, as the forest is on the way to Kizimkazi; we pass through the forest on the way back from dolphin tour.
