If you’re interested in the Prison Island Tour, we invite you to book with us. Our Prison Island Tour Zanzibar has been very popular since its inception. Not only is it an alluring tour for many tourists, but it’s also very affordable, priced at only $35 per person for a half-day tour.

This tour offers a plethora of attractions, including the Zanzibar tortoises which are a major draw for many visitors. These sociable tortoises have been on the island for over 150 years, and you’ll have the opportunity to get up close and personal with them.

Another highlight of the Prison Island Tour is the historical site of the central prison of Zanzibar, from which the tour takes its name. Although the prison was built in 1893, it was never actually used as a prison.

For those who love swimming and snorkelling, this is an ideal tour as you’ll be able to explore the sea around the prison and see the sights of Changuu Island. While enjoying the water, please bear in mind the history of slavery linked to this area. Alternatively, you can simply relax and swim if that’s more your preference.

It’s worth noting that the boat tour to Prison Island Zanzibar takes around half an hour and provides an excellent opportunity to take in the surrounding scenery. As this is a private tour, there’s no set time for departure, and you can start anytime between 9am and 4pm.

We recommend pairing the Zanzibar Prison Island tour with another half-day tour, such as the Stone Town Tour, the Spice Tour or the Jozani Forest Tour. If you’re staying outside of Stone Town, please note that extra transportation costs will apply. Feel free to contact us for further information on this or anything else about the tour.

While there isn’t much to do on the island itself, the unique sights and experiences provided by the tour make it a truly worthwhile experience. The tortoises, with their impressive age and size, are a particularly fascinating sight, and the snorkelling is unparalleled. The seafloor is teeming with sea creatures, and the reef is stunningly beautiful. Additionally, the boat trip is a relaxing and enjoyable way to experience the beauty of the area.

In conclusion, we highly recommend booking the Prison Island Tour Zanzibar. With its affordable price and myriad attractions, it’s a must-see for anyone visiting the area.
