Description
Explore Zanzibar on a guided tour. Visit Prison Island, a spice farm, and a turtle lagoon. Enjoy the scenic views of the Indian Ocean from the Rock Restaurant.
Begin your journey with a boat ride to Prison Island (also known as Changuu Island), where you’ll meet the giant Aldabra tortoises, some over 100 years old. Learn about the island’s history as a former prison and enjoy some leisure time on its beautiful beach.
Next, visit a traditional spice farm to see, smell, and taste Zanzibar’s famous spices. Walk through lush plantations and learn about cloves, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and more.
Continue your adventure to a natural turtle lagoon, where you’ll swim with sea turtles in their calm, crystal-clear habitat — an unforgettable moment of connection with nature.
Finally, head to the southeast coast to stop at the world-renowned Rock Restaurant, uniquely perched on a coral rock in the Indian Ocean. You can choose to dine there (reservation required) or just enjoy the scenic view and take photos.
