We loved it - We had a really great time on this trip, we first started with Prison Island where we saw the Giant Tortoise and took pictures with them, and later we went to see the Prison ruins.
After tour around the Prison Island, we went to the Sandbank, it was a 45mins boat ride from the prison Island, the Sandbank was so huge, we had a great seafood buffet at the Sandbank, with nice fresh fruits.
I recommend this trip.

So Relaxed - Pickup was on time, we took so many pictures with Giant Tortoise at the Prison Island. The seafood was so delicious, it was being cooked at Nakupenda Sandbank.

My rate? 6,5 - From 0 to 10? My answer: 6.5
Not exactely worth the price I paid.
Because of a mistake it has not been a private tour, I had another client with me, but I didn’t get upset at all.
The description says ”full day”
but I suggest to change it since the tour lasts not more than 5-6 hours. That being said:
I had enough time to enjoy the visit to Prison Island at my pace, cool to can feed the turtles and caress them :)
I enjoyed a lot the time at Nakupenda sandbank: nice and clear water, enough time to make some snorkeling, lay on the sand and eat.
