Notes

Clients can request to return at anytime. Snorkeling equipment included. Not allowed to pick coral stones.

A traditional wooden boat will bring you to Prison Island. The islet was formerly used as a private detention for disobedient slaves. Later a jail was constructed, but never actually used.

Today the island is a small tourist resort, famous for its giant tortoises. Our tour guide will give you a short introduction to the islet’s interesting past and you can then spend sometime sunbathing, swimming, snorkelling, or walking around to see tortoises and peacocks.
