A traditional wooden dhow will bring you on a 20 minutes ride to Prison Island. The islet was formerly used as a private detention for disobedient slaves. Later a jail was constructed, but never actually used.
Today the island is a small tourist resort, famous for its giant tortoises. Our tour guide will give you a short introduction to the islet's interesting past and you can then spend some time sunbathing, swimming, snorkelling, or walking around to see tortoises and peacocks.
- Duration: 3 hour(s)
- Location: Changu Island
