The spice farm tour is a guided experience at a working plantation where you'll learn about the cultivation and traditional uses of cloves, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and other spices. You'll taste fresh spices and tropical fruits, interact with local farmers, cook swahili food with a local family and enjoy lunch at the farm. It's an educational and sensory experience unique to Zanzibar.
No experience is necessary. Snorkeling is easy and enjoyable - simply swim with a mask, snorkel, and fins. Our crew will provide instruction and guidance. The waters at Prison Island are calm and warm. If you're uncomfortable in water, you can skip snorkeling and simply relax on the beach or explore the island.
Zanzibar is beautiful year-round. June - October (dry season) offers the best weather with lower humidity. December - February is warm with occasional light rains. April and May see heavier rains. Book 2–3 months in advance for peak season availability. Shoulder seasons (March, November) offer fewer crowds and good deals.
