Excursions in Zanzibar
Zanzibar - On a dhow trip


City Tour

The best way of discovering Stone Town is to make a "City tour". A local guide will show you al the remarkable places in town like
the House of Wonders, the house of the biggest slave trader "Tippu Tip", the Anglican Church of Christ and the Old Slave Market, the Central Market and of course the typical carved doors of Zanzibar. For a city trip you need at least 4 hours. Highly recommended !


Price : 10 USD (4 hrs)


Changuu Island

Zanzibar, Prison Island : Giant Tortoise

Also known as Prison Island, it's the most famous of the offshore islands. This island was once owned by an Arab who used it for rebellious slaves. Later it was sold to general Mathews who converted it into a prison. However it has never been used as such. The island is also home to giant tortoises which are supposed to have been brought over from Aldabra - an Atoll off the Seychelles. The small beach disappears at high tide, but it is superb to swim in the crystal clear water with splendid coral reefs. The island itself is well-forested, nice for a walk, an ideal place for a day trip.

Price : 15 USD (full day)


Spice Tour

Zanzibar, Spice Tour : Jackfruit


Zanzibar is well known as the 'Spice Island' as since long there are big cloves- and coconut plantations. Such a spice tour is more than recommended. It takes about 4 hours, includes pleasant stops at various villages to taste the freshly picked local fruits and herbs. We also visit the decorated Persian baths at Kidichi. After the spice tour we offer you a special spice meal : 'pilau rice' and the possibility to swim at Fuji Beach on the West Coast.

Price : 20 USD (min. 5 pax)(5 hrs)


Dolphin Safari

Zanzibar, Dolphin


One hour away from Stone Town is Kizimkazi, a small village on the southern point of the island. From here we start our Dolphin Safari. Once we get offshore we start spotting Dolphins. Swimming with wild dolphins always is a superb experience, but don't expect to be able to touch them or hang on their fins or stuff like that. Snorkelling gear is available for rent in the village.

Price : 35 USD (min. 5 pax)(full day)


Jozani Forest

Zanzibar, Jozani Forest : Red Colobus Monkey




A small National Park centrally located on the island. It is the last remaining sanctuary for the Red Colobus Monkey.

Price : 25 USD (min. 5 pax)(5 hrs)
