Prison Island tour packages travel by boat in 20 minutes from Stone Town to Changuu Island, where giant Aldabra tortoises, some over a century old, roam freely. Visitors can feed and photograph the tortoises, snorkel in clear water and explore the ruins of a prison built in the 1860s that was never used for prisoners. Peacocks wander the island, and beach cafes serve drinks. It is best as a half-day trip.
