Explore Zanzibar’s spice farms, Stone Town, and Prison Island with lunch, tortoises, boat rides, and practical tips for a full day out.

“Guide was excellent (Masi) Spice Farm was fascinating, great opportunity to support local. Lunch traditional swahili food. Prison Island and the tortoise sanctuary well worth a visit. Be aware getting on and off the boat is tricky and you will get wet as you are knee deep in the water. Stone Town fascinating, our guide was superb. Biggest criticism was there was a lot of waiting around in very hot weather and the group was too big for a Stone Town tour, couldn't hear the guide over the noise so missed half of what was said. Would be useful to know how many is in your group as this did…”

“Extremely fun and enlightening tour! We learned so much about all the different spices they grow at the farm. Not to mention, the staff were so incredibly friendly and kind! Only downside was that we did not cook the food with them. Rather they showed us some of the ingredients for one of the side dishes, which we slightly helped out with. Otherwise, a lovely experience! Highly recommend:)”

“Transport hat alles super pünktlich funktioniert,Themeninhalte passen zur Zeitangabe von 8 Stunden. Interessante Stopps.Guide war nicht sehr gesprächig, eventuell hätte er auf Englisch mehr zu berichten gehabt als auf Deutsch, hat sich aber sehr bemüht nur Deutsch zu sprechen. Insgesamt schöne Tour!”
