Setting off around 7:00 AM means calmer, quieter waters, and the dolphins tend to be more active in the early hours. Our Animal & Nature First approach means we never chase or disturb the dolphins. Our local guides know these waters well, including how close it's respectful to get, and we follow the local marine conservation rules. How close the dolphins come is always up to them, and on playful days, they sometimes swim right up to the boat. Back on shore around 10:30 AM, with most of the day still ahead of you.

2 6 h

Prison Island also known as the Changuu Island lies about 30 minutes by boat from the Unguja Isand. The Prison area was never used to house prisoners, it was used by an Arab slave trader to contain the more troublesome slaves he had brought from the African mainland. The prison ended up being used as a quarantine center, instead of a prison for yellow fever epidemics that once raged the region. In 1919 the British governor of Seychelles sent a gift in form of four Aldabra giant tortoises to Changuu. Presently this species is considered vulnerable has been placed on the IUCN Red List. Our dream sandbank called Nakupenda (in Swahili means I LOVE YOU), a place where it has a very white sand, limpid and crystalline water.
