Tour Plan

Begin your day with a smooth arrival at Zanzibar Airport, where you will be greeted by your friendly transfer guide, ready to take you on an unforgettable adventure. Your first stop is the historic Stone Town, the heart of Zanzibar’s rich cultural tapestry. As you stroll through this UNESCO World Heritage Site, you’ll feel the fusion of Swahili, Arab, Persian, and European influences come alive in the architecture, streets, and people. Explore the House of Wonders, once a palace for sultans and now a museum that offers a fascinating glimpse into Zanzibar’s past. Be captivated by its intricate carvings, stunning artifacts, and the panoramic view of Stone Town from its clock tower.

Continue your journey through the narrow alleys of Stone Town, where the vibrant markets and quaint local cafes reflect the daily life of this charming island. Immerse yourself in the colorful atmosphere, admire the beautifully preserved coral stone buildings, and discover hidden gems around every corner. For lunch, savor authentic Zanzibar cuisine at a local restaurant, enjoying the island’s flavorful dishes influenced by the spices and traditions of its past.

After exploring the cultural heart of Zanzibar, you’ll be transferred to the serene North-East beach area, where pristine white sands and turquoise waters await. Unwind by the beach as the day winds down, letting the peaceful ambiance of the ocean waves rejuvenate your spirit. Enjoy a beachside dinner, with fresh seafood and local delicacies, as the sun sets over the horizon. After a fulfilling day of exploration and relaxation, retreat to your comfortable accommodation for a restful night. Your meal plan for the day includes lunch and dinner, ensuring you’re well-nourished throughout your journey.

Start your day with an early breakfast at your beach accommodation, getting ready for an exhilarating adventure swimming with dolphins. After breakfast, your guide will pick you up for a scenic drive to Kizimkazi, a fishing village on the southern coast of Zanzibar, known for its dolphin population. Upon arrival, you’ll board a boat and head out into the warm, clear waters of the Indian Ocean, where you’ll have the opportunity to swim alongside these playful creatures in their natural habitat.

As your boat navigates through the gentle waves, the excitement builds when you spot pods of dolphins swimming gracefully through the water. With your snorkel gear ready, you’ll be able to jump into the ocean for a chance to swim with them. The experience of seeing dolphins up close, in their natural environment, is truly magical, as they dart and glide through the water near you. Throughout the morning, you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy this unique encounter, with the guidance of experienced local boatmen ensuring the dolphins are treated with care and respect.

After your dolphin adventure, you’ll return to the shore, where a well-deserved tropical lunch awaits at a local restaurant. Take some time to relax and enjoy the coastal atmosphere, reflecting on the incredible experience of swimming with one of the ocean’s most intelligent and friendly creatures.

In the afternoon, if time allows, you can explore the village of Kizimkazi, known for its historical significance and serene coastline. You might also opt to relax by the beach, soaking in the sun and the stunning ocean views.

As the day winds down, your guide will take you back to your accommodation, where you can enjoy a peaceful evening by the ocean. Your day of swimming with dolphins will surely be one of the highlights of your Zanzibar holiday.

Begin your day with a hearty breakfast at your beachside accommodation, fueling up for an exciting adventure into the aromatic world of spices. After breakfast, your guide will pick you up for a scenic drive to the spice farms located just outside of Stone Town. As you arrive, you’ll be greeted by the vibrant sights and scents of the plantation, where you’ll embark on a guided spice tour.

During the tour, you’ll explore lush gardens filled with a variety of spices and herbs, including cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, and cardamom. Your knowledgeable guide will share fascinating insights about the history and significance of these spices, as well as their various uses in cooking, medicine, and traditional practices. You'll have the opportunity to see how these spices grow, taste fresh fruits, and even get involved in some hands-on activities, such as grinding spices or creating your own spice blends.

After the tour, you’ll enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, featuring dishes infused with the spices you’ve just learned about. Savor the flavors of traditional Zanzibari cuisine, which is rich in spices and flavors that reflect the island’s diverse cultural influences.
In the afternoon, continue your spice adventure with a visit to a local market. Here, you can explore vibrant stalls filled with an array of spices, fresh produce, and handmade crafts. This is a perfect opportunity to purchase some spices to take home as souvenirs, allowing you to recreate the flavors of Zanzibar in your own kitchen.

As the day winds down, your guide will take you back to your accommodation, giving you time to relax and reflect on your fragrant adventure. You’ll leave with a deeper appreciation for Zanzibar’s spice heritage and the knowledge of how these aromatic treasures shape the island's culinary landscape.

On your departure day after an unforgettable two days in Zanzibar, you’ll start with a delightful breakfast at your accommodation, reflecting on your incredible experiences exploring Stone Town and swimming with dolphins. After breakfast, take some time to relax or do any last-minute shopping for souvenirs in Stone Town, where you can find unique crafts and spices to remember your trip by.
