Prison Island Half-Day Tour from Zanzibar

Changuu Island, often referred to as Prison Island, is situated just a brief 30-minute boat ride from Stone Town's historic shores. Initially the property of an Arab proprietor and designated as a holding area for rebellious slaves, the island surprisingly never served as an actual prison. Instead, it transitioned into a quarantine zone during outbreaks of yellow fever. Acquired by General Lloyd Mathews in the late 19th century, the construction of the landmark jail dates back to 1893, which is the origin of the island's nickname. The island took an ecological turn in 1919 when the governor of Seychelles generously gifted four Aldabra giant tortoises, a species now listed as vulnerable and closely monitored by the IUCN Red List. Nowadays, a conservation initiative on Changuu is dedicated to the preservation and care of these gentle giants. Our excursion invites you to immerse yourself in the intriguing history of Prison Island, get up close with the majestic Aldabra tortoises and engage in activities like feeding them, as well as opportunities for aquatic adventures including swimming, snorkeling, and soaking up the sun in this scenic retreat.
