Stone Town Walking Tour & Spice Plantation Experience

After breakfast with an ocean breeze, head south for a half-day guided exploration of Stone Town, the cultural heart and UNESCO World Heritage Site of Zanzibar. Walk the labyrinthine streets to uncover centuries of Swahili, Arab, Indian, and European influence. Visit iconic landmarks such as the Old Slave Market, House of Wonders, Sultan’s Palace, and Old Fort.

Stone Town’s historical charm makes it one of the top things to do in Zanzibar. You'll also have a chance to shop for handmade crafts, textiles, and carved wooden souvenirs.

En route back to Nungwi, stop at a spice plantation for an immersive Zanzibar spice tour. Touch, smell, and taste vanilla, cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, lemongrass, and other tropical delights. Learn how Zanzibar earned its title as the "Spice Island," and enjoy a fresh fruit tasting under the trees.

Return to your beach resort in time for a relaxed evening.
