About a 25 minute crossing from Stone Town. The sandbank is underwater at high tide, so departure follows the tide. Book via WhatsApp
-
Prison Island — $40 per person.
Built as a prison in 1893 and never used as one. The oldest Aldabra giant tortoise on the island is over 190. Book via WhatsApp

Jozani Forest — $35 per person.
The Zanzibar red colobus lives nowhere else on earth. Touching them is illegal and enforced. Book via WhatsApp
