What to expect

Embark on an unforgettable journey through Zanzibar’s crystal-clear waters and vibrant history. Start your day at the iconic Forodhani Gardens and cruise aboard a traditional dhow to the stunning Nakupenda Sandbank—a hidden paradise that disappears with the tide. Sink your toes into powdery white sands, snorkel among colorful coral reefs, and enjoy a refreshing selection of tropical fruits, fresh juices, local bread, and aromatic ginger tea.

Next, set sail to the historic Prison Island (Changuu). Walk through the haunting ruins of the former slave prison, then meet the island’s legendary giant Aldabra tortoises, some over 100 years old. Take time to swim, sunbathe, or explore the scenic beach before indulging in a flavorful Swahili buffet lunch with soft drinks.

This all-in-one experience offers the perfect blend of relaxation, culture, and adventure, making it one of Zanzibar’s top-rated coastal excursions. Optional hotel transfers available for your convenience.
