Sandbank picnic Zanzibar & Prison Island

The “Prison Island Tour” in Zanzibar is unique for its “Aldabra giant tortoises”, some over 100 years old, which visitors can feed and interact with. The island also features historical ruins from its days as a quarantine station and offers excellent snorkeling in its coral-rich waters. Its blend of wildlife, history, and serene beaches makes it a standout experience. “Nakupenda Sandbank”, on the other hand, is a breathtaking, uninhabited sandbar surrounded by turquoise waters. Its name means "I love you" in Swahili, and it lives up to the romance with its pristine beauty. Accessible only by boat, it’s perfect for swimming, snorkeling, or enjoying a fresh seafood barbecue on the sand. The sandbank’s secluded, postcard-perfect setting makes it a dream destination for relaxation and photography. Together, these tours showcase Zanzibar’s diverse charm—history and wildlife on Prison Island, and untouched natural beauty on Nakupenda.
