Zanzibar: Stone Town Walking Tour, Spice Farm Visit, and Prison Island

Begin your day with hotel pickup and travel to the heart of Stone Town, a UNESCO-listed area rich in cultural and architectural history. Your guide will lead you through the narrow, winding streets lined with coral stone buildings, intricately carved wooden doors, and former palaces. Learn about Zanzibar’s past, from its days as a major port in the spice and slave trades to its Sultanate history.

Next, drive to a nearby spice plantation and experience why Zanzibar is known as the “Spice Island.” Smell, touch, and taste local spices such as cloves, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg while learning about their culinary and medicinal uses.

After the spice farm visit, enjoy a relaxing boat ride to Prison Island (Changuu Island), a former quarantine station before returning to Zanzibar’s main island and transferring back to your hotel.
