Frequently asked questions
How do we get to Prison Island?
The island is reached via a traditional motorized wooden boat (dhow) from the Stone Town waterfront. The boat ride takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes each way and offers beautiful views of the Zanzibar coastline.
Can we actually touch and feed the tortoises?
Yes! The Aldabra Giant Tortoises are very friendly and accustomed to humans. You will be provided with some leafy greens to feed them, and you are welcome to take photos with these magnificent creatures under the guidance of your tour leader.
Is there a dress code for the Stone Town portion?
Zanzibar is a predominantly Muslim society. While on the boat and at the island, swimwear is fine, but for the Stone Town walking tour, we kindly ask that you dress modestly by covering your shoulders and knees.
How long does the combined tour take?
The full experience usually lasts between 5 and 6 hours. Typically, we spend about 3 hours in Stone Town and 2 to 3 hours at Prison Island, though the schedule can be adjusted to suit your pace.
