In the 1860’s the island was used as a coral mine and a prison for rebellious slaves however in 1893 it was turned into a quarantine station for yellow fever cases which was functional half a year then the rest of the year it was used for tourist holiday accommodation as a government owned tourist resort. Visit the prison and you can also tour the prison cells. This island is home to a collection of endangered Aldabra giant tortoises originally a gift from the British governor of Seychelles. Now, more tortoises are brought to the island from other locations for conservation. You can observe and feed the tortoises while at the Island. You can now snorkel in the water around the island.

Wake up early for the first activity of swimming with the dolphins at Kizimkazi village. In this area the most common species i.e. bottle-nose dolphins come out to fish in the morning at sunrise and after they return to the deep waters which then make it hard to see them. Experience the dolphins’ true ocean grace and hear them communicate with each other.

Swimming with dolphins costs only USD$15-25 which pays for boat and conservation fee plus mask and flipper rental.

As you leave Kizimkazi, go on a guided nature walk in Jozani walk. Jozani Chwaka National Park was set up as a conservation area for the rare Zanzibar Red Colobus monkey.
