One of the most interesting aspects of visiting Prison Island is that it is home to the endangered Aldabra Giant Tortoise. The island has a sanctuary for these animals where you can see them, up close, and even feed and walk among them. A visit to this top tourist attraction will stay with you long after you return home.

The Aldabra Giant Tortoise Sanctuary holds a large colony of giant tortoises that were imported from the Seychelles as a gift from their governor in the 18th century.

Another interesting point is that Prison Island has a few different names: Changuu Private Island, Kibandiko Island, and Quarantine Island.
