Used in the old days by a slave merchant as a stopover before taking slaves into Stone Town for sell some times in the 1850’s. In the late 19th century the Sultan decided to build a jail house on the island hence the name prison island, the prison was never used and later on the island served for quarantine. A hotel has been developed here but the biggest attraction remains the giant tortoises brought from the Seychelles in early 1900. A half hour trip by boat and a tour that takes you to see these reptiles and the ruins of the prison is an ideal getaway from the bustling Stone Town. You will also enjoy beautiful snorkelling here.
Bring your swimming costumes and towels and maximum sun protection.
