Très belle journée malgré le nombre important de touriste que nous étions …
Le guide que nous avions nous a donné l’opportunité de connaître l’histoire de l’île de la prison ainsi que l’histoire de Zanzibar ! Un grand merci à lui :)

Do not recommend!!! We started our tour on Prison Island with our tour guide. The Island itself was nice and beautiful, our tour guide explained maybe 3 or 4 things about the island. WE DID NOT FEED OR SWIM WITH THE TURTLES. HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT AS THIS IS WHAT INWAS LOOKING FORWARD TO THE MOST. The guide was on the phone the ENTIRE TRIP. He didn’t even offer to take our photo on the island. He would disappear and tell us to meet him when we are finished. Then we went to vanishing island to have lunch and beach time. There is no chairs, towels, or bathrooms. The food was good and people that wanted to do snorkeling could do so. You will be asked by so many people to buy this and that. They never go away. I had on shades and was trying to relaxed and they said hello until I acknowledged them. Then after that we had our tour in Stone Town. This was not the best tour by far. The guide was not knowledgeable and again was on the phone. Over all we would not recommend this tour.

We decided to do the 3 activities in one day because were only spending a few days in Zanzibar.
The chofer picked us up at 8:00 in our hotel in Nungwi, which was an hour away from the Stone Town port, where the day started. We had to wait for another couple that finally didn’t come so we really started at around 10:30am. They first took us to Prison Island, where we saw the turtles and had a quick walk through the remains of the prison.
After that we took the boat to Nakupenda beach. It’s a small piece of land with lovely water. We did some snorkeling but the water was dirty, because they told us to snorkel in the area where the boats were. They cooked lunch for us there and it was delicious.
After lunch we headed to Stone Town, the guide walked us through some streets and in the market. It was at about 2:30pm so it was hot to walk but the old part of the city was nice. After around 30 minutes, we had finished and went back to our hotel.
The experience was OK, but it felt rushed at some moments. The guide was nice but didn’t explain many things. We would have preferred starting a bit earlier and not rushing so much, and also hearing better explanations from the guide.
