Review of Zanzibar’s Stone Town, spice farm, Prison Island and lunch tour, with honest advice on value, timing, guides, boats and what to expect.

“Was a really fun and comprehensive tour, I did feel a little lost at the optional Slave Market museum, but other than that it was pretty wonderful, spice farm was great and the stone town&prison island tours were very interesting. Just prepare your stomach because the boat for prison island can get a little rough.”

Review of Zanzibar’s Mnemba dolphin swim and snorkeling tour, with practical details on reefs, wildlife ethics, transport, lunch, and value.

“Fortunately I had the chance to see and swim with dolphins. It was my first time meeting dolphins, and their faces were so pretty. The guides were nice and we enjoyed some fruit together. One thing to improve is that the shop was a bit hard to find since there were many stores, and at first I got confused. But overall, I had a wonderful experience with the dolphins ！”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 554 reviews · 3 - 8 hours · from $35

Review of Zanzibar’s Prison Island and Nakupenda boat tour, with giant tortoises, snorkeling, seafood BBQ, costs, timing, and practical tips.

“The tour was well organised. We visited the giant tortoises, were given some interesting history on prison island and had a meal at the stunning sandbank. The sandbank has plenty of seating space in the shade and food cooked there for all the tours. Sadly we couldn’t snorkel as the waves were too big that day. One side of the bank was very calm and perfect for floating in the gorgeous, stunningly turquoise water. Lovely day with a friendly group.”

“Our day trip in Zanzibar exceeded all expectations! Our tour guide Omar was absolutely fantastic - energetic, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to making sure we had the perfect experience. He kept reminding us “it’s YOUR holiday!” and tailored everything to what we wanted to do. The snorkeling stops were incredible - we saw beautiful starfish and vibrant tropical fish in the most stunning turquoise water imaginable. We had plenty of time for snorkeling, swimming, and relaxing on the beach. The water was absolutely breathtaking! Throughout the day, we enjoyed fresh tropical fruit (as much as we wanted!) and a delicious seafood lunch. We even had time for some shopping before…”

Review of Zanzibar’s Prison Island and Nakupenda Sandbank tour, with giant tortoises, snorkeling, seafood lunch, transport, and practical tips.

“The tour was absolutely amazing, and the value for money was outstanding. Our guide Milano (I called him Dr. Milano) was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. He helped in every situation and even went above and beyond by offering tips and assistance beyond the tour, which I’ve never experienced on my many travels before. The organizer Jeff (Mulele) was also extremely helpful and assisted us for free with transportation after the tour. We had plenty of time on Prison Island to see the giant tortoises—an unforgettable experience since these animals are so rare to encounter in other countries. The sandbank was breathtaking, and I had never seen anything so beautiful before.…”

Review of Zanzibar’s private 9-hour tour, with Jozani Forest, turtle swimming, Kuza Cave, Paje Beach, and The Rock Restaurant.

“This was a fantastic activity! My friend and I enjoyed a private tour which started with swimming with the dolphins. Our guides were so knowledgeable and spotted them very quickly! We then had a beautiful breakfast while getting to know our guide, Mohammed, who had a wealth of knowledge about Zanzibar. Swimming with the turtles was a huge highlight and the turtles seemed very happy and content. Mohammed and our driver, Sharif, gave us plenty of time and made sure we didn’t feel rushed at any time. Seeing Kuza cave was also a surreal experience not to be missed. The Rock Restaurant was absolutely stunning and was a great way…”
