Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival & Stone Town Tour
Arrive at Abeid Amani Karume International Airport and transfer to your hotel in Stone Town. After check-in, head out for a guided tour through this vibrant, UNESCO-listed old town. Meander the narrow alleys and explore iconic landmarks like the Old Fort, House of Wonders, and Sultan’s Palace. Visit Darajani Market for a taste of local life and traditional Zanzibari products.
Learn how African, Arab, Indian, and European influences blend in the town’s architecture, language, and cuisine. End the day with a rooftop dinner overlooking the ocean, where you can watch the sun sink into the horizon as the evening call to prayer echoes through the streets—a magical introduction to Zanzibar.

Day 3: Mnemba Island Snorkeling Adventure
Today, set sail for Mnemba Atoll—one of Zanzibar’s top snorkeling destinations. Cruise across turquoise waters on a traditional dhow, soaking in the sea breeze. Upon arrival, dive into the clear Indian Ocean and explore colorful coral reefs teeming with tropical fish, starfish, sea turtles, and maybe even dolphins.
After snorkeling, enjoy snacks and fruits aboard the boat or on a nearby sandbank. Return to your resort in the early afternoon to unwind—perhaps with a beachside nap or spa treatment. As evening sets in, take a gentle walk along the shoreline and savor a peaceful dinner, filled with fresh seafood and tropical flavors.

Day 4: Kizimkazi Dolphin Tour & Southern Coast
Rise early for a scenic drive to Kizimkazi, a coastal village known for dolphin sightings. Board a dhow and head into the sea, where bottlenose and humpback dolphins often play. If lucky, you’ll swim alongside them—an unforgettable moment. Afterward, explore the calm southern beaches or stop at a clifftop café for lunch.
On your return journey, enjoy panoramic views of Zanzibar’s lush coastal landscapes. Spend your evening back at the resort with time to relax and reflect. This day combines adventure, wildlife, and serenity—all the elements that make Zanzibar unforgettable.

Day 5: Jozani Forest Exploration
After a restful morning, venture to Jozani Forest—the island’s only national park. Walk through ancient mahogany and eucalyptus trees with your guide and spot the endangered red colobus monkeys leaping in the treetops. Learn about this unique forest ecosystem, which also includes mangrove boardwalks and butterfly habitats.
The peacefulness of Jozani offers a contrast to the coastal buzz. After the tour, enjoy a relaxed drive back to your resort. The afternoon is yours to enjoy: lounge by the pool, sip fresh coconut juice, or catch up on journaling. Finish the day with dinner under the stars, feeling at one with nature.

Day 6: Full Day Resort Relaxation
Today is all about rest and indulgence. Wake when you please and start your day with a slow beachside breakfast. This is your chance to enjoy everything your resort offers—whether it’s a relaxing spa massage, a swim in the infinity pool, or simply reading under a swaying palm.
Stroll along the beach, try beach yoga, or sip cocktails by the water. With no planned activities, this day is a reset—allowing you to soak in the Zanzibar vibe and let your body truly unwind. End the evening with a romantic beach dinner or a sunset cruise if you’re up for something special.

Day 7: Farewell Zanzibar
Savor your final breakfast with ocean views, letting the sound of the waves stay with you a little longer. If time allows before your transfer, take one last walk on the beach or dip your toes in the sea. You might want to grab a few souvenirs—perhaps some Zanzibar spices, beaded jewelry, or a vibrant kikoi.
Then, transfer to the airport for your flight home. Leave with sunkissed skin, refreshed energy, and the memories of dolphins, spice farms, coral reefs, and Zanzibar’s endless charm. It’s more than a trip—it’s an experience that lingers in your heart long after you’ve left.
