The other may barely exist a few hours later.
Prison Island and Nakupenda are often combined because they offer two completely different sides of a boat day off Stone Town.
Prison Island
Changuu, widely known as Prison Island, sits offshore from Stone Town.
Most visitors come for the island's history and giant tortoises.
A guide makes the historical context more useful than simply walking around the site.
Nakupenda
Nakupenda is a tidal sandbank.
That means the shape and amount of visible sand depend on the tide.
It is not a permanent beach club.
That impermanence is part of the experience.
Trips commonly include swimming, time on the sandbank and, depending on package, food.
