  • Prison Island - Changuu Private Island

Previously owned by Arab to house his rebellious slaves, the prison was never used and the Island is now home to a tortoise sanctuary and prison ruins. Prison Island is 30 minutes away from stone town by local boat. Originally thought to be from the Islands of Seychelles some of these tortoises are said to be over 100 years old. .The prison Island is a great companion to a morning city tour.
