Nakupenda Beach

This day tour includes a trip to one of Zanzibar’s most pristine beaches, Nakupenda Beach, and to historic Prison Island. The tour includes door-to-door transportation, a seafood lunch, snorkeling gear, and snacks.

Beautiful Nakupenda Beach conjures dreams of relaxing days strolling up and down soft white sands surrounded by turquoise waters. Abundant birdlife and gorgeous sunrises and sunsets enhance your experience. Swimming and snorkeling among colorful fish and corals make it even better. Be sure to bring your underwater camera!

Prison Island Pier
Our expert guides will also take you to visit Prison Island, where the ruins of a former prison and hospital building remain. The intriguing history of the “rebellious slaves” and violent criminals imprisoned here will capture your imagination. During the 1900s, the prison was turned into a hospital to prevent diseases then spreading in Zanzibar.
Prison Island
During your visit to Prison Island, you can also take a stroll and venture into the forest. Here you will see beautiful butterflies and maybe even catch a glimpse of a Duiker, a tiny antelope. You’ll admire beautiful peacocks with their spectacular tails of colorful feathers and even walk among and feed endangered Giant Aldabra Tortoises.
