Dolphin tour and Jozani Forest
Start your day swimming with wild dolphins. The most popular dolphin spotting location in Zanzibar is in Kizimkazi village located on the Southern coast of Zanzibar Island where you can see both bottle-nose and humpback dolphins.
Considering the fact that in the afternoon the sea water tends to become warm and the dolphins tend to dive deep down the sea bottom to escape heat, the best time to do this tour is early in the morning. That's why you will be picked up from the hotel around 06:00 am.
After getting the chance to spot the dolphins and jump in the water to swim with them you will get the chance to explore the wilderness of the last original Jungle in the Jozani National Park. You will enjoy the endemic Red Colobous Monkeys.
How can't you just be excited of getting very close to wild monkeys who are used to humans. You will get to observe them do their things while ignoring you.

Stone Town + Spice + Prison Island
This trip includes 3 trips into one.
We will stat with a visit to Prison Island, where you will get the chance to meet the giant land tortoise.
Changuu Island (also known as Kibandiko, Prison or Quarantine Island) is a small island 5.6 km north-west of Stone Town, Unguja, Zanzibar. The island is around 800m long and 230m wide at its broadest point. The island saw use as a prison for rebellious slaves in 1860s and also functioned as a coral mine.
Next we will proceed to visit Stone Town. You will get fascinated about the indian and arabic style doors, about the food market, and spice market.
Stone Town is a must see place to experience and say you have been, one of those bucket list items . There is a huge amount of history to the place with alot of the old buildings still standing , some pre-reading is highly suggested with a visit to the tourist information office at the old fort to get yourself a couple tourist books with maps and a what is happening guide book.
In the evenings there is usually the food market on the beach front which sells some decent and cheap foods, the local kids jumping and doing crazy tricks leaping over the sea wall into the ocean, this is pretty nice to see some of the locals cooling off after a long hot day.
Stonetown is a worth of seeing place. This city has been a witness of suffering of thousands of slaves. The narrow streets are nice to walk around, the former slave market is a must see, to realize how cruel and evil slavery was.
At the end of the road there is after the night market close to the top end hotels are a couple restaurants/bars which are a nice spot to take a breather from the busy streets and hustle of the traders.
​
We will end our day with a SPICE TOUR. The history of Zanzibar would be incomplete without the cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, pepper and many other spices which are essential ingredient in a Zanzibari’s everyday life, it is the island’s connection to spices and herbs. Zanzibar and Spice is a romantic entanglement that dates back to the 16th century.
