Prison Island/Changuu Island Tour

Price :$70

Changuu Island, often known as Prison Island, is located around 30 minutes by boat from Stone Town. Although an Arab once owned the island and kept disobedient slaves there, no prisoners ever did; instead, the island served as a quarantine facility for yellow fever outbreaks. General Lloyd Mathews bought it, and in 1893, the prison that is still there was built, giving it the name “Prison Island.”
Changuu received four Aldabra giant tortoises as a gift from the British ruler of the Seychelles in 1919. This species is now considered vulnerable and has been added to the IUCN Red List. On the island, there is a specific foundation that cares for the tortoises.

Tour Plan

01
Day 01 : Prison Island Tour

Participate in an exclusive half-day tour of Prison Island. From Stone Town, you will embark on a boat that will take you to the breathtaking beach of Prison Island, which is located approximately 5 kilometres away. Visit the tortoise sanctuary, which is home to a large colony of enormous tortoises that Sultan Said brought from the Seychelles in the 19th century. While you wait to return to Stone Town, you can either relax in the warm sun or snorkel among the coral that surrounds Prison Island. Either way, you can take in the abundant marine life.

“Please be aware that we are able to arrange return transfers to your hotel for an additional fee. Simply make a note of it when you make your reservation, and then wait for our estimate.”
