What to expect

Set off on an unforgettable Zanzibar adventure where rich culture, exotic wildlife, and the scents of the Spice Island come together. Begin with a scenic boat ride from Stone Town to the iconic Prison Island, home to majestic giant Aldabra tortoises, some over 100 years old. Once designated as a quarantine site, the island still holds the remnants of its never-used prison, offering a glimpse into Zanzibar’s intriguing past. Surrounded by clear turquoise waters and soft white sand, it’s an ideal spot for snorkeling, swimming, or relaxing in the sun.

Continue your experience with a walk through a thriving spice plantation, where cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg, cardamom, and black pepper grow in abundance. Discover how these fragrant treasures earned Zanzibar its title as the Spice Island. Inhale the rich aromas, learn from local farmers, and even challenge yourself to climb a coconut tree with a guide's help. Wrap up your day with a warm cup of authentic spice tea, capturing the true essence of this tropical paradise.

Perfect for explorers, food lovers, and culture seekers alike—Zanzibar offers a sensory experience unlike any other.
