Detailed Itinerary
From Stone Town, take a motorized boat to Prison Island, a picture-perfect tropical island with a sordid history of cholera, prisons, and the enslavement of slaves. Admire the wildlife-filled forest and white sand beaches, as well as the leisurely-moving giant tortoises that inhabit the island. Visit a jail that was formerly used as a quarantine, make friends with an Aldabra tortoise, and take in the island’s breathtaking view of Stone Town! After that, it’s time to unwind and enjoy the Zanzibar sun on the Pange sandbank’s white sands. Take in the stunning view of the birds that soar overhead and the turquoise waters that envelop you.
This place is really amazing. Is it time to calm down, take your flippers and snorkel with you, and go swimming. This submerged world will astound you. Admire the colourful tropical fish that swarm the stunning, living coral reef that encircles the sandbank. Once your appetite has been whetted, settle in under the shade of your very own tent to enjoy a seafood feast. It will undoubtedly rank among your best days in Zanzibar.
There will be a romantic sunset dhow cruise to cap off your day. This cruise will thrill you because it will give you a clear view of the stunning Indian Ocean scenery as it passes along the shoreline of Stone Town. We promise to make your evening unforgettable. Our skilled Swahili singers will enthral you with their traditional live music, while our friendly staff spoils you with a variety of aperitifs. We’ll also soothe you with a light sea breeze.
As you sail back towards the shimmering lights of Stone Town in the distance, the sunsets transform the sky from pink and blue hues to magnificent golden hues, and the wind gently blows you back to shore. The needs of our clients and their safety are always the top priorities for the knowledgeable and experienced crew on board. It gets dusk and we sail back to shore. An ideal start to your shared life. You will be dropped off at the hotel following the tours.
