Today begins with a deeper dive into the history and culture of Stone Town. Visit the Sultan’s Palace, House of Wonders, the Old Fort, and the Anglican Cathedral built on the site of the old slave market. After lunch, take a boat ride to Prison Island (Changuu Island), home to giant Aldabra tortoises and crystal-clear waters perfect for swimming and snorkeling. Return to Stone Town in the late afternoon and enjoy a relaxed evening with optional local music or dinner by the waterfront.

Day 3: Spice Tour & Transfer to Nungwi Beach

After breakfast, set off for a spice farm tour in the countryside. Walk through lush plantations and discover why Zanzibar is known as the “Spice Island.” Smell and taste fresh cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla, turmeric, and exotic fruits. After the tour, head north to the dreamy village of Nungwi – home to some of the island’s best beaches. Check into your beach resort and enjoy your first sunset over the water with your toes in the sand.

Get ready for a full day of tropical adventure on the Safari Blue tour – a must-do in Zanzibar. You’ll board a traditional dhow boat and sail across the crystal-clear waters of Menai Bay. Snorkel among vibrant coral reefs, spot dolphins, swim in a natural lagoon, and indulge in a seafood feast on a sandbank. The experience includes fresh tropical fruits, grilled fish, octopus, lobster (optional), and chilled drinks under the sun. Return to Nungwi in the late afternoon, just in time for another unforgettable sunset.
