Excursion d'une demi-journée sur Prison Island au départ de Zanzibar
Description
Changuu Island également appelée Prison Island, se trouve à environ 30 minutes en bateau de Stone Town. L'île appartenait autrefois à un Arabe et était utilisée pour le confinement des esclaves réfractaires, mais aucun prisonnier n'y a jamais été logé. Au lieu de cela, l'île est devenue une station de quarantaines pour les épidémies de fièvre jaune. Elle a été achetée par le général Lloyd Mathews et la prison qui existe toujours a été construite en 1893, d'où le nom PRISON ISLAND. En 1919, le gouverneur britannique des Seychelles a envoyé un cadeau sous la forme de quatre tortues géantes d'Aldabra à Changuu. Actuellement, cette espèce est considérée comme vulnérable et figure sur la liste rouge de l'IUCN. Une fondation dédiée sur l'île s'occupe du bien-être des tortues. Cette visite comprend une visite de l'historique Prison Island avec sa tortue terrestre géante. Pendant votre séjour sur l'île, vous pourrez observer et nourrir les tortues, nager, bronzer et faire du snorkeling.

The guide was really nice and kind. We had the opportunité to do snorkelling and he explained the while historical background of the island. The encountzr with the turtles was magical !
Overpriced — this is a tiny island with not much to see. Our guide didn't even flag the museum. It was definitely underwhelming.
I really loved the entire island. The tortoises were interesting but the museum outlined the history in an interesting and fascinating way. The shop was one of the best I've seen with a large variety of items. The pace was leisurely. We never felt hurried even though the island got a little crowded as the day went by. I would recommend arriving as early as possible to avoid the crowds.
Turtle Island was fascinating. The boat ride out was also an adventure. Our guide was very friendly and excellent. However, Viator Should have notified people that they must Be prepared to walk out in a foot of water to the boat, therefore shorts or raised pants legs are mandatory.. Also, the boat trip out to the island had very rough water which guests should be prepared for.
The French speaking guides have excellent training and you learn a lot. For those we had
Thou I have visited Prison island a few times already, it’s always nice to see it through another’s eyes. The trip through small boats is safe, we travelled with young children under 10 years. What I noticed was the water current is higher toward the end of the day, so perhaps not the very ideal time to travel! The peacock addition makes the place even more interesting!
TOUR to Prison Island together with Nakupenda, a prison that has never really been used as such but as a quarantine place and where giant turtles were important from the Seychelles...many is giant. Then you go to Nakupenda which in local language means "I love you", here I have no words to describe the beauty the colors that there are .. a tongue of sand that appears and then disappears after a few hours, where you prepare the fish cooked at the moment .. delicious fresh fruit, crystal clear sea ... the best experience for me ..
We relied on this excursion to Gianduiotto. Good organization. Unfortunately the weather was cloudy and we could not fully enjoy the beauty of the tongue of sand. Interesting and fun prsion island with its turtles!
Very nice trip to prison island. Great driver and car and our guide was very friendly and informative on what we visited.
Coupled with the spices and the Stone Town visit, the tour was very informative, especially as we were with a French guide! Out of time place that has been successful, with structures that are actually aging but that have been recycled in restaurants open in high season (which is not the case in April/May). The turtles are impressive and if you are an observer, you may be lucky enough to see one or two small "antelopes". Go around the whole island to take beautiful pictures and why not swim if your organizers give you time!
