Great time on our private sand bar!

Published on Jan, 2023

We had a great tour of Nakupenda and Prison Island. We were given the option to leave early in the morning for Nakupenda before Prison Island to get there before the crowds and it was one of our top experiences in Zanzibar - we had the whole place to ourselves for quite a while and our guides set up a shade for us with fruit and left us alone to enjoy it as long as we wished to! Amazing!!

Wonderful experience!!

Published on Dec, 2022

We had a great day on Prison Island and Nakupenda sandbank, both places was so so beautiful and cool with the giant turtles! Our guide Ekkoto was the best! He really wanted us to have the best experience and made his utmost to make sure of this. I can really recommend this tour!

A must visit

Published on Oct, 2021

Visited dis place with my guide. It's a WOW beach with beautiful scenery and clear water. You can spend a whole day there. Lots to do. Sandbank where you rest and eat fruits. Swim, snorkelling etc etc. Food was not that good as i was allergic to sea food, there was not much Choice. But if you can eat seafood it's good. We left sometime after 10 am and got back by 1730. The boat goes from fumba

A "Must-do" experience!

Published on May, 2021

This trip was fantastic and I would definitely recommend it to anyone on the fence of which excursion to go on. Starting off at Prison Island, Ali showed me around whole island and gave helpful extra information on the tortoise population and which areas were best to snorkel. Nakupenda was absolutely beautiful and the lunch prepared was delicious with everything from lobster to octopus available in HEAPS! Thanks to Ahmed for his conversation and wealth of knowledge on the area and everything in between!

Best excursion in Stone Town

Published on Apr, 2021

We did not have much time on our trip in Zanzibar, we saw this excursion and book. It was amazing, the trip was private, Prison Island was nice, the Sandbank was unbelievable, the food was super delicious, the staff was so friendly. I recommend this trip.
