Weather dependent Tide dependent

This is a full-day pairing of two of the most popular short excursions from Stone Town: a morning visit to Changuu (Prison Island) for its giant tortoises and snorkelling, followed by time on or near the Nakupenda sandbank, a shifting stretch of white sand that appears above the waterline at low tide. Because the sandbank's exposure depends on the tide, the exact time spent there and its size vary by day.
