After the walking tour, head to the shore and board a traditional wooden boat for a short sail to Prison Island (also known as Changuu Island). Originally used as a place for rebellious slaves and later as a quarantine station, today the island is famous for its giant Aldabra tortoises, some over 150 years old.
Explore the small historical prison ruins, relax on the white sandy beach, or snorkel in the crystal-clear waters surrounding the island.

Taste and smell freshly harvested spices, sample tropical fruits like mango, papaya, pineapple, and avocado, and learn about their culinary and medicinal uses.
Join a hands-on cooking class with a local chef. Harvest fresh vegetables and spices, then use traditional techniques to prepare a classic Swahili meal. Enjoy the food you’ve cooked and discover how Zanzibari cooking has been passed down through generations, using authentic methods and tools.
