The historic heart of Zanzibar City, Stone Town is a living museum of Swahili culture. Its maze of narrow alleys reveals centuries of Arab, Persian, Indian, and European influence — with carved wooden doors, spice markets, and grand merchant houses. Visit the Old Fort, House of Wonders, and Forodhani night market for a taste of Zanzibari life.
On the island’s central east coast lies the serene and untouched Chwaka Bay, a protected marine area surrounded by mangroves and tranquil waters. Ideal for kayaking, birdwatching, and peaceful walks along the tidal flats, Chwaka offers a glimpse of Zanzibar’s wild, unspoiled beauty — perfect for travelers seeking quiet coastal charm away from the crowds.
No visit to Zanzibar is complete without sailing into the sunset aboard a traditional wooden dhow. Whether gliding along the coast of Nungwi or cruising the calm waters near Stone Town, the experience combines romance, culture, and timeless ocean views.
Leaving from Fumba, which is in the South East – and still a very untouched and remote area in Zanzibar, guests will head on a trip in a traditional wooden dhow towards one of the three snorkeling stops to enjoy the unique underwater world of Zanzibar. On the way they will hopefully meet dolphins playing around in the shallow Marine Park of Menai Bay and depending on the tides they’ll swim at a very special island full of mangroves. On the secluded uninhabited island Kwale, they’ll enjoy a delicious lunch.
A tour of one of Zanzibar’s Spice Farms is a must do on the island. During a walking tour through the farm, guests will be shown and explained each and every spice one can find in Zanzibar. After being fully packed with knowledge, our guests get time to buy spices, soaps and cremes which are all handmade by the community within the farm and can enjoy a traditional weaving class.
Prison Island gets its name from the prison which was built on it in 1893. It was never actually used as a prison but rather as a quarantine hospital. After a 30min boat ride with a beautiful view of Stone Town’s skyline, guests will meet the contemporary inhabitants of the island and the giant tortoises which were banned from the city of Stone Town which are more than 200 years old.
