Description
Explore Zanzibar's highlights on a day trip. Visit Prison Island, relax on Nakupenda Sandbank, and discover the island's spice heritage at a local farm.
Start your day with a boat trip to Prison Island (Changuu Island), just off the coast of Stone Town. Visit the giant Aldabra tortoises, some of which are over 150 years old, and learn about the island's history as a former quarantine station.
Next, head to the Nakupenda Sandbank, a stunning stretch of white sand surrounded by turquoise water. Relax on the beach, swim, snorkel, and enjoy the peaceful scenery. You’ll also have the chance to taste fresh seafood BBQ and tropical fruits (optional, or bring your own picnic).
After your time at the beach, continue to a local spice farm, where you’ll discover the "Spice Island" heritage of Zanzibar. Learn about spices like cloves, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom, and enjoy tasting fresh tropical fruits and spices right from the farm.
