What you can expect

  • Experience three of Zanzibar’s most memorable attractions in one day on a journey combining history, culture, nature and relaxation.

    Begin with a boat trip to Prison Island, famous for its Aldabra giant tortoises and fascinating history. Walk around the island, meet the giant tortoises and enjoy time by the turquoise waters.

    Continue to Nakupenda Sandbank, one of Zanzibar’s beautiful marine spots. Depending on the tide and sea conditions, enjoy swimming, relaxing on the white sand, taking photos and experiencing the peaceful surroundings of the Indian Ocean.

    Enjoy a freshly prepared local lunch featuring Zanzibar-style seafood, accompanied by seasonal fruits and refreshments. A vegetarian option can be arranged upon request.

    After the beach experience, continue to Stone Town, Zanzibar’s historic heart and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Walk through its narrow streets with your local guide and discover its unique blend of Swahili, Arab, Indian and European influences. See historic buildings, local markets, old doors and important landmarks while learning about the island’s rich history and culture.

    This experience is ideal for travellers who want to combine Zanzibar’s famous beaches with its history and local culture in a single day.
