Prison Island, also known as Changuu Island, is the most central of the three islets visible from Stone Town. Board a motorboat for the 30-minute crossing.
The prison on this island was built in 1893 and later used as a quarantine hospital. On the island, you’ll come across the giant tortoises brought from the Seychelles by Sultan Saïd in the 1820s, and you can also enjoy sunbathing on one of the island’s beaches.
