Day 1 Arrival and Stone Town

Meet your transfer driver at Zanzibar Airport and travel to your Stone Town hotel. Today is deliberately kept simple so you can settle in after your flight. Check in according to the hotel’s available time, put your luggage away and receive an introduction to the confirmed island schedule. An early arrival does not automatically include an extra excursion or early room access.

Check in according to the hotel’s available time, put your luggage away and receive an introduction to the confirmed island schedule. An early arrival does not automatically include an extra excursion or early room access. Use the remaining time to rest or take a short independent walk near the hotel if you wish. Stone Town is a living neighborhood, so dress respectfully away from the beach and ask before photographing people. Lunch and dinner are at your own expense today. Your guide will confirm tomorrow’s meeting time and the arrangements for your next transfer.

The base visit covers a guided walk; admissions to museums or specific historic buildings are included only when named in the final quotation. Take the afternoon at leisure rather than combining every attraction into one rushed day. Your guide can suggest places for an independently paid lunch. Comfortable footwear and respectful clothing make the walk easier, and shopping remains optional throughout the visit.

Day 3 Spice farm and northern beach

Leave Stone Town after breakfast for a guided visit to a working spice farm. Learn how familiar ingredients grow and how spices are used in local food and everyday life. The visit focuses on explanation and observation, with tasting offered only where available and suitable; it is not a promise that every spice will be in season.

Day 5 Northern beach at leisure

Enjoy breakfast without an early departure and spend the day at your beach hotel. Use the open schedule for reading, time by the pool where available, or a relaxed walk along the shore. Ask the hotel about the day’s swimming conditions and suitable areas before entering the sea; no beach offers identical conditions throughout the year.

This is a genuine leisure day, with no paid excursion hidden in the price. Water sports, spa treatments and other activities can be booked separately after checking availability and suitability. Lunch and drinks are purchased independently, and dinner is included at the hotel. Keeping an unscheduled day gives you space to enjoy the coast without turning the holiday into a daily transfer program.

Day 6 Sunset dhow cruise

Keep the morning and early afternoon free for the beach, pool or a quiet lunch purchased independently. Later, meet your transfer driver for the confirmed dhow departure point. The timing follows sunset, sea conditions and the boat operator’s schedule rather than a fixed year-round departure hour. Bring a light layer and protect personal items from spray.

A dramatic sunset is never guaranteed. Return to the hotel for the included dinner. If weather prevents sailing, the operator’s agreed alternative or cancellation terms apply; no substitute activity is assumed without confirmation.
