Things to Do in Zanzibar

Zanzibar rewards people who look past the beach chair. In one week you can snorkel a reef off Tumbatu, eat lunch on a rock in the middle of the tide, drop into a hidden cave, ride a quad through red earth villages, and finish on a dhow with the sun going down behind Stone Town. Everything below is a guide we have written from the island itself: what it costs, where to book it, and whether it lives up to the photos.
