Day 1: Arrival in Zanzibar - Stone Town Tour

Your Zanzibar adventure begins with arrival at Abeid Amani Karume International Airport (ZNZ), where you'll be met by our representative. Transfer to your Stone Town hotel (approximately 30 minutes) with time to freshen up.

In the afternoon, embark on a guided walking tour of historic Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Explore narrow alleyways, visit the former slave market site, see the House of Wonders, and end at Forodhani Gardens for the famous night food market (own expense).

Dinner at a rooftop restaurant with views over the Indian Ocean. Overnight in Stone Town at your selected hotel, with the sounds of the call to prayer drifting over the ancient city.

Day 2: Spice Tour & Transfer to Beach Resort

After breakfast, depart for a fascinating spice tour (approximately 3 hours). Walk through working spice farms, smelling, tasting and learning about Zanzibar's "Spice Islands" heritage - including cloves, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg.

Enjoy a Swahili lunch at the spice farm before transferring to your chosen beach resort (1-2 hours depending on location). The rest of the day is at leisure to enjoy your resort's facilities and the famous Zanzibar sunset.

Dinner at the resort with options for beachfront dining. Fall asleep to the sound of waves lapping at the shore at your selected beach accommodation.

Day 3: Full Day Beach Relaxation

Today is completely free to enjoy Zanzibar's stunning beaches at your own pace. Wake up to the sound of the ocean and enjoy breakfast with ocean views.

Choose to simply relax on the powder-white sand, swim in the turquoise waters, or book optional activities through your resort (additional cost): snorkeling trips, dhow cruises, kayaking or stand-up paddleboarding. The more adventurous can try kitesurfing (east coast) or scuba diving.

As the sun sets, enjoy fresh seafood at your resort's beachfront restaurant or take a sunset dhow cruise (optional). Another magical night in your beach paradise.
