Details: |
Prison Island or Changuu Island is the middle island of the three visible islands from Stone Town. It takes approximately 30 minutes to get there by an outboard engine powered wooden boat. The prison on this island was built in 1893, which was later used as a Quarantine Hospital. It is the home of the giant tortoises that were brought to this Island from Seychelles by Sultan Said in the 1820’s. One can also swim, snorkel, sunbathe or just relax and enjoy the peacefulness that this beautiful island has to offer.
