Zanzibar Private Stone Town, Prison Island, and Spices Tour
Experience three quintessential Zanzibari experiences in one day, without having to coordinate multiple tours, with this private tour. Your driver picks you up at your hotel and takes you to Stone Town for a tour of the UNESCO-listed city. Then it's off to Prison Island, famous for its giant tortoises, and onwards to the Shabuta Spice Farm to see (and smell) why Zanzibar is nicknamed the "Spice Island."
Highlights
- ✓A private tour ensures maximum flexibility
- ✓Round-trip transfers from your hotel included for ease
- ✓Bottled water is provided to keep you hydrated
- ✓Travel in the comfort of a private, air-conditioned vehicle
What you'll see & do
- ✓Explore the cultural and historical heart of Zanzibar through a guided walk in Stone Town. Discover its narrow streets, old buildings, lively markets, and famous sites like the House of Wonders, Old Fort, and the former slave market. It’s a great way to learn about the island’s rich history and local life in just a few hours.
- ✓Prison Island, also known as Changuu Island, is located about 5 kilometers from Stone Town, Zanzibar. In the 19th century, it was used by Arab slave traders to detain enslaved people. Later, in 1893, the British built a prison on the island, but it was never used for that purpose. Instead, the island became a quarantine station for yellow fever and other diseases. Today, Prison Island is a popular tourist attraction, known for its beautiful beaches, clear waters, and the giant Aldabra tortoises that live there.
- ✓Zanzibar is known as the “Spice Island” because of its long history of growing spices. During the 19th century, under Omani rule, cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, and pepper became major exports. Spice farms were created across the island. Today, visiting a spice farm is a popular activity where tourists can see, smell, and taste fresh spices, and learn how they are grown and used in Zanzibari culture
