Imagine stepping onto a boat, the gentle waves lapping against the hull, as you leave the hustle and bustle of Zanzibar’s Stone Town behind. The sun sparkles on the azure waters, and with every passing moment, you’re drawn further into a world where history, adventure, and nature intertwine. Welcome to the Half-Day Prison Island/Changuu Island Tour, an unforgettable experience brought to you by Siha Discovery.
Prison Island, also known as Changuu Island, is steeped in rich history and captivating tales. Originally established in the 19th century as a quarantine station for yellow fever patients, this island has witnessed everything from colonial rule to the preservation of the stunning Aldabra tortoises. These gentle giants roam freely on the island, and you’ll have the unique opportunity to interact with them—a rare experience that echoes the whispers of history.
At Siha Discovery, we pride ourselves on offering tours that go beyond the ordinary. Our guides are passionate storytellers, blending historical insights with local folklore to provide a deeper understanding of this enchanting destination.
Changuu Island captivates not only with its history but also with its natural beauty. As you set foot on the island, you’re greeted by white sandy beaches kissed by crystal-clear waters. The vibrant colors of the surrounding coral reefs beckon snorkelers and marine enthusiasts from around the globe.
During your visit, take a moment to explore the remnants of the historic prison buildings, a stark yet fascinating reminder of the island’s past. You’ll also witness the remarkable efforts to conserve the Aldabra tortoises, a species that has been protected by the Zanzibar government since the 1980s. These tortoises are not just a symbol of conservation; they represent the importance of preserving our planet’s biodiversity.
