“The tour was simply amazing. We swam with many dolphins, and it was an unforgettable experience. What we really appreciated was that the dolphins were not chased. Sometimes we were completely alone with them in the open sea, which felt very special and respectful. The driver and the guide were incredibly kind and friendly. We also enjoyed delicious fresh fruit on the sandbank. There was enough time for snorkeling around Mnemba Island, and we never felt rushed. We highly recommend this tour!”

Review of Zanzibar’s Spice Farm, Stone Town, and Prison Island tour, with Swahili lunch, giant tortoises, boat ride, tips, and honest drawbacks.
“Guide was excellent (Masi) Spice Farm was fascinating, great opportunity to support local. Lunch traditional swahili food. Prison Island and the tortoise sanctuary well worth a visit. Be aware getting on and off the boat is tricky and you will get wet as you are knee deep in the water. Stone Town fascinating, our guide was superb. Biggest criticism was there was a lot of waiting around in very hot weather and the group was too big for a Stone Town tour, couldn't hear the guide over the noise so missed half of what was said. Would be useful to know how many is in your group as this did…”
