If you are interested in the Prison Island Tour we would like to invite you to book this tour with us. Our Prison Island Tour Zanzibar has been very popular since we started organizing it. This is because apart from being an enticing tour for different tourists, it is also a very affordable one. This is a half day tour which is being offered at only $35 per person.

This Zanzibar Prison Island Tour will offer you a myriad of attractions. The main ones include the Zanzibar tortoises, which many tourists are eager to see. The Zanzibarian tortoises are said to have been on the island for over 150 years. These tortoises are really sociable and you will be able to get close to them and see them up close.

Another main attraction during the Prison Island Tour is the historical site of the central prison of Zanzibar, from which the name of the tour derives. This was built back in 1893, but despite the fact that it has been named as a prison it was never used as a prison in reality.

For those who love swimming and snorkelling, this is an ideal tour. If you snorkel around the prison you will surely be intrigued by the sights you will see of Changuu Island. You will need to bear in mind the history of slavery which is linked to this place. Simply relaxing or swimming are another two options, allowing this tour to be ideal for anyone regardless of his or her preference.

It is also important to point out that when embarking the engine boat, which are about 7 metres long, you will be able to take a good look around you. This boat tour to Prison Island Zanzibar takes about half an hour.

Being a half day tour we suggest that the Zanzibar Prison Island tour is booked along with another half day tour, such as the Stone Town Tour, the Spice Tour or the Jozani Forest Tour. Please note that if you are staying outside of Stone Town you will incur extra costs for transport. Feel free to contact us for more details in this regard or on anything else about the Zanzibar Prison Island Tour or the boat trip to Prison Island Zanzibar.
