This is the most popular island to visit from Stone Town as it is only a short boat ride (about 10 minutes) away from town. The island was owned by a wealthy slave owner who sent unruly slaves to the island for discipline. Later it was owned by a British General who used it as a quarantine station. The island offers the largest tortoises we have ever seen, and visitors can take a walk around the island sightseeing the old prisons and various other historical artifacts. Snorkeling off the island is fantastic with snorkel equipment hire available when you land. Visitors are well advised to take a half or full day trip to see this beautiful place.
