Stone Town & Spice Tour — Zanzibar

Spend the morning exploring Stone Town, Zanzibar's ancient heart and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Wander through a labyrinth of narrow streets lined with ornately carved wooden doors, visit the Arab Fort, the House of Wonders and the historic slave market, and soak up the atmosphere of vibrant local markets. In the afternoon, travel inland to Zanzibar's famous spice plantations for a guided tour — your senses will come alive with the scent of cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, turmeric and vanilla growing in their natural environment.

Dolphin Excursion & Leisure Beach Day — Zanzibar

Head out early by boat for a morning dolphin excursion along Zanzibar's southwestern coastline. The warm, shallow waters off Kizimkazi are home to both bottlenose and humpback dolphins, often spotted in large pods swimming alongside the boat. Optional snorkelling among coral reefs is available for an additional cost. Return for a relaxed afternoon — the beach, the pool, a spa treatment, or simply a hammock and a good book.
