Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival & Stone Town Tour
Upon arrival in Zanzibar, transfer to your hotel in the heart of Stone Town. After check-in, begin your journey with a guided tour through this atmospheric UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Stroll along narrow alleys lined with carved wooden doors, historic mosques, and vibrant markets. Visit the Old Fort, the House of Wonders, and the Sultan’s Palace to uncover the island’s Swahili-Arab heritage. Explore Darajani Market, where locals shop for spices, seafood, and tropical fruits.
Learn about Zanzibar’s trading history and cultural fusion of African, Arab, Indian, and European influences. In the evening, enjoy a rooftop dinner with sweeping views of the Indian Ocean and a golden sunset. Rest and prepare for the sensory adventures ahead.

Day 2: Spice Farm Tour & Prison Island
After breakfast, head inland for a sensory journey through Zanzibar’s renowned spice plantations. Guided by local experts, you’ll see, touch, and taste cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, vanilla, and tropical fruits while learning about their culinary and medicinal uses. Next, travel by boat to Prison Island.
Originally a quarantine station, this small island is now home to Aldabra giant tortoises, some over 100 years old. Wander the historic ruins, feed the tortoises, and enjoy a refreshing swim in the clear waters. Return to Stone Town for a relaxed evening, perhaps with a seaside dinner. This day balances culture, history, and nature beautifully.

Day 5: Farewell Zanzibar
Savor your final breakfast on the beach, soaking in the last moments of ocean breeze and sunshine. Depending on your flight time, enjoy a final swim or a relaxed stroll along the shore.

Check out of your resort and transfer back to Stone Town or directly to the airport. Reflect on your journey through Zanzibar’s cultural treasures, spice-scented air, and tranquil beaches. With unforgettable memories and sun-kissed skin, you depart knowing you’ve experienced the very soul of this magical island.
