Ultimate Zanzibar Paradise Experience

The widest trip we run, culture and coastline together across four days.

4 days / 3 nights

Where the Ocean Adventure stays on the water, this one takes in the whole island. You walk the lanes of Stone Town, learn why Zanzibar is called the Spice Island, meet the giant tortoises on Prison Island, relax on the Nakupenda sandbank, sail Safari Blue through Menai Bay, snorkel Mnemba Atoll, and finish on a sunset dhow.

It is a full four days, planned so the heavy sea days sit next to the slower cultural ones. Everything but flights and accommodation is included.

Highlights

  • Stone Town and a working spice farm
  • Prison Island tortoises and Nakupenda sandbank
  • Full Safari Blue day in Menai Bay
  • Mnemba snorkelling and a sunset cruise
