This pairs two popular half-day trips into a compact two-day add-on: Prison Island, home to giant tortoises and good snorkelling just off Stone Town, and the Nakupenda sandbank, a stretch of sand that appears at low tide with a beach barbecue lunch typically included through local operators.

Visitable year-round, since it's a cultural rather than wildlife destination. Early morning or late afternoon walks avoid the heat of the day.
