• Prison Island: Changuu Island, better known as Prison Island, lies about 30 minutes by boat from Stone Town. This half-day guided tour takes you to the island to discover its historic past and present, including the giant tortoises that roam around. The island was formerly meant to be used for the confinement of refractory slaves but no prisoners were ever housed. It became a quarantine station for yellow fever epidemics. It was bought by General Lloyd Mathews and the jail which still stands was built in 1893. Hence the name “Prison Island”. The island also houses the Aldabra giant tortoises.

On this half-day tour of nature and zoology, your guide will help you find them. Keep your eyes focused on the treetops to spot these elusive creatures and other animals such as Sykes’ monkeys, bush babies, duikers, butterflies and several birds.
