Prison Island (Changuu Island)

This picturesque island, located just off the coast of Stone Town, is famous for its historical prison ruins and giant Aldabra tortoises. Visitors can take a short boat ride to the island and explore its scenic trails, snorkel in crystal-clear waters, and interact with the resident tortoises, some of which are over a century old. The island also offers opportunities for picnicking, sunbathing, and learning about its fascinating history.
