Something for Everyone - June 2025 This was a great excursion for the day. We were able to enjoy the surrounding waters of Nakupenda. The water on one side of the sand bar is a breathtaking blue yet crystal clear, warm bath water and I’m not other side. There are more waves, but equally as beautiful. Our guides also provided delicious fresh fruit, seafood, and homemade fries for lunch. I couldn’t get enough.😊. Our next stop was prison Island., which is packed full of history and rare animals. Our third stop was Stone Town and regrettably, we did not have enough time to actually get into the tour as we stopped due to most of us being exhausted from the event earlier in the day and a bit of a late start. I recommend knowing what you want to see and where you would like to spend more time before you begin your day. Our guide was engaging, knowledgeable, and fun. Thank you, Adam, for keeping the atmosphere light and moving.

Prison and vanishing island adventure - Our tour guide, Cappuccino, met us at our hotel and warmly welcomed us with a big smile. He took us to the port, where we eagerly boarded a boat for our adventure to Prison Island and Vanishing Island. Throughout the journey, Cappuccino shared fascinating stories and insights about the history and culture of the islands, making the experience even more enjoyable. His kindness and extensive knowledge truly enhanced our trip, and we were grateful for his guidance as we explored the beautiful scenery and unique wildlife. It was a day filled with laughter, learning, and unforgettable memories.
