Get picked up at your hotel in the morning and drive to Stone Town. Starting trip with prison island as we take the boat to the island for 20 minutes then go to prison Island ; also known as Changuu Island, The prison was built in 1893 and was originally intended to house violent prisoners from the mainland and sick people. You will also get the opportunity to visit the tortoise sanctuary, which contains a large colony of giant tortoise imported from the Seychelles in the late 19th century.
After visiting prison island we go to walk in stone town ; This place has retained its urban fabric and townscape virtually intact and contains many fine buildings that reflect its particular culture, which has brought together the cultures of Africa, the Arab region, India, and Europe over more than a millennium.

After walking in Stone Town, we will drive to Spice Farm ; where you will enjoy the rainforest setting with lots of tropical plants, trees, and spices. Experience, taste, and smell different spices that are grown on Zanzibar, such as turmeric, cardamom, cinnamon, black peppers, cloves, nutmeg, and so on.

At the end of this tour, you will have lunch of spiced rice with fruits. You'll also be able to do spice shopping at the spice farm.
