If you have one full day and want the harbour story in full, this is the itinerary. Stone Town gives you streets and history. Prison Island gives you tortoises. Nakupenda — “I love you” in Swahili — is a sandbank that appears in the channel, bright enough to reset the whole morning.
We keep the boat private whenever we can, so lunch is yours rather than a queue. Transfers from north or east-coast hotels are priced when you share your stay.
