Prison Island is a peaceful haven just 30 minutes away from the ever-bustling city centre. Once an important site of 19th-century slave trade — the island was used as a prison for rebellious slaves in 1860s. The island also functioned as a coral mine, but today it serves as home to adorable giant Aldabra tortoises.
