Descrizione

L'Isola di Changuu, nota anche come Prison Island, si trova a circa 30 minuti in barca da Stone Town. L'isola era un tempo di proprietà di un arabo e fu utilizzata per confinare gli schiavi più ostili, ma qui non furono mai ospitati prigionieri; invece l'isola divenne una stazione di quarantena per le epidemie da febbre gialla. È stata acquistata dal Generale Lloyd Mathews e prende il nome dalla prigione costruita nel 1893, da cui deriva appunto il nome "PRISON ISLAND". Nel 1919, il governatore inglese delle Seychelles inviò come regalo a Changuu quattro tartarughe giganti di Aldabra. Attualmente questa specie è considerata vulnerabile ed è stata inserita nella lista rossa IUCN. C'è una fondazione dedicata sull'isola che si occupa del benessere delle tartarughe. Questo tour include una visita alla storica Isola della Prigione con le sue tartarughe di terra giganti. Sull'isola, sarai in grado di osservare e dar da mangiare alle tartarughe, nuotare, prendere il sole e fare snorkeling.

Great expérience !

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 !

great to see, BUT

Overpriced — this is a tiny island with not much to see. Our guide didn't even flag the museum. It was definitely underwhelming.

Prison Island was lovely.

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.

Good, but be prepared

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.

Prison island again

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!

Wonderful.

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 ..

A beautiful boat trip

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!

Island out of time

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!
