Spice Delight & Prison Island Tour

Zanzibar, famously known as the Spice Island, invites you to discover its rich aromas and flavors on this private tour. Journey into the countryside to visit local spice plantations, where you’ll see, smell, and taste fresh spices growing in their natural environment. During a guided two-hour walk, learn how vanilla, nutmeg, cardamom, pepper, cloves, and cinnamon are cultivated and harvested, and hear how these prized spices are used in traditional dishes, natural remedies, and cultural ceremonies.

After your spice experience, continue to Stone Town and board a boat for a scenic 30-minute ride to Changuu Island, also known as Prison Island. Here, you’ll visit the conservation sanctuary caring for giant tortoises and explore the island’s small museum to learn about its history. Afterwards, relax on the beautiful white-sand beaches, swim in the crystal-clear waters, and enjoy lunch before returning to Stone Town. Don’t forget your swimsuit for this memorable island escape.
