Overview

Step into the heart of Zanzibar’s history with a guided tour of Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Walk through its narrow streets lined with ancient buildings, bustling markets, and grand landmarks like the House of Wonders, the Old Slave Market, and the Sultan’s Palace. Learn about the island’s rich cultural heritage, shaped by Arab, Persian, Indian, and European influences.

After exploring Stone Town, take a short boat ride to Prison Island, home to the famous Aldabra giant tortoises. Originally built as a quarantine station, the island offers a mix of history, stunning beaches, and crystal-clear waters perfect for swimming or snorkeling. Meet the century-old tortoises, explore the old prison ruins, and enjoy the breathtaking views of the turquoise ocean surrounding the island.
