Stone Town & Prison Island
Stone Town is a vibrant, ancient port city that serves as a testament to the rich Swahili culture, blending Arab, Persian, Indian, and European influences. Prison Island, also known as Changuu Island, was originally intended to be a prison but was later used as a quarantine station.

Here, you will enjoy a seafood barbecue lunch on the sandbank before spending time snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters.

Nakupenda means "I love you" in Swahili, and the island lives up to its name. It is a stunning sandbank in the middle of the Indian Ocean, famous for its pristine white sand and brilliant blue waters, making it a perfect spot for relaxation, sunbathing, and snorkeling.
