This trip is a half-day adventure where you can explore a historic street made of coral stone from the 19th and 20th centuries. Stone Town, where the street is located, is a lively place where Arabic, African, Indian, and European cultures mix together happily. You'll walk through narrow streets filled with mosques, churches, and temples.
Your guide will take you on a journey through the city's history and culture. You'll visit places like the old slave market, the House of Wonders, the Old Fort, Sultan’s Palace, Darajani market, and Forodhani Gardens.
Then, you'll hop on a boat to Prison Island which is about 5 km away. The island used to be a prison but is now a hotel. You'll get to see a sanctuary giant tortoises imported from the Seychelles in the late 19th century. Some of these tortoises are over 150 years old and weigh about 200 kg.
For the rest of the trip, you can snorkel around the coral reefs near Prison Island or just relax on the beach before heading back to Stone Town.
