Zanzibar Heritage Experience – Stone Town, Spice Tour & Prison Island Day Trip

Immerse yourself in the soul of Zanzibar with this full-day guided tour covering the island’s most iconic experiences.

Start your journey in Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its blend of African, Arab, Indian, and European influences. Stroll through narrow alleys, visit bustling markets, and see landmarks like the House of Wonders, Sultan’s Palace, Freddie Mercury’s house, and the Old Slave Market.

Next, head to a nearby spice plantation for a guided tour. Smell, touch, and taste a variety of spices like cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla. Learn about their uses in local cuisine and medicine.

In the afternoon, enjoy a scenic boat ride to Prison Island (Changuu Island). Originally built as a prison, it later became a quarantine station. Today, it’s home to a sanctuary of giant Aldabra tortoises — some over 100 years old! After visiting the tortoises, relax on the beach or snorkel in the clear waters before returning to town.
