Overview
The day follows a natural line from the city to the sea. After a morning walk in Stone Town, you board a boat to Prison Island for the tortoise sanctuary and the ruins. Then the boat continues to the Nakupenda sandbank for swimming, snorkeling and a seafood lunch.
Lunch and drinks are included, and the pace allows time to rest on the sand.
