What to expect

Dive into the heart of Zanzibar’s heritage on this immersive day trip that blends culture, history, and natural beauty. Begin with a scenic boat ride from Stone Town to the iconic Prison Island, home to the endangered giant Aldabra tortoises, some of which are over a century old. Explore the island’s historic ruins—once intended as a quarantine site but never used—offering a unique window into Zanzibar’s colonial past. Surrounded by turquoise waters, the island also invites you to snorkel, swim, or simply relax on its serene white-sand beach.

Continue your journey inland with a guided Spice Plantation Tour, where you’ll stroll through aromatic fields growing cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, cardamom, and more. Discover why Zanzibar earned its nickname “The Spice Island,” and learn traditional harvesting techniques from local farmers. If you're feeling adventurous, try your hand at climbing a coconut tree with a local guide!
