Zanzibar Stone Town & Spice Tour Day Trip

Explore. Discover. Indulge.
Step back in time and awaken your senses on a fascinating day trip through Zanzibar’s UNESCO-listed Stone Town and lush spice plantations. This enriching journey blends culture, history, and flavor — offering a full immersion into the heritage and heart of the “Spice Island.”


What Makes This Tour Special?

This experience takes you deep into the winding alleys of Stone Town — a melting pot of Swahili, Arab, Persian, Indian, and European cultures. You’ll explore ancient architecture, bustling markets, and historical landmarks. Then, journey into the countryside to visit a working spice farm where you’ll taste, touch, and smell the exotic spices that made Zanzibar famous.

Perfect for travelers who want to combine cultural discovery with sensory delight in one unforgettable day.


What to Expect

1. Guided Walking Tour of Stone Town
Wander the narrow streets with a local guide who brings Zanzibar’s history to life. Visit sites like the Old Slave Market, House of Wonders, Sultan’s Palace, and the Forodhani Gardens. Learn about the island’s role in trade, colonial history, and modern life.

2. Spice Plantation Experience
Head out of town to a nearby spice farm where you’ll see, smell, and taste fresh cloves, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, and tropical fruits. Learn how these spices are grown and harvested — and enjoy a flavorful local lunch if you choose.

Meet local artisans, spice farmers, and market vendors who share stories and traditions passed down for generations.
