Zanzibar: Nakupenda Sandbank Trip with Prison Island Option

Your journey begins with a convenient hotel pickup, depending on the option you choose, followed by a scenic boat ride toward the stunning Nakupenda Sandbank, one of Zanzibar’s most iconic natural attractions. Upon arrival, you will have plenty of free time to swim in the clear turquoise waters, snorkel around the shallow reefs, sunbathe on the soft white sand, or simply relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. For guests who select the lunch option, a freshly prepared seafood barbecue will be served on the sandbank, featuring a delicious selection of fish, lobster, octopus, calamari, tropical fruits, and refreshing drinks to complete the experience.

If you choose the combined tour option, the trip also includes a visit to Prison Island either before or after your time at Nakupenda. On Prison Island, you can see the famous Giant Aldabra tortoises, explore the historic prison ruins, and learn about the island’s rich and fascinating history. After a day filled with relaxation, marine activities, and cultural discovery, you will return by boat and be comfortably dropped off back at your hotel, bringing the experience to a smooth and memorable close.
