All Zanzibar Tours & Excursions in 2026

10/10 would book this excursion again in a heartbeat. The crew picked us up directly from the hotel beach and took great care of us every step of the way. The boat is beautiful and we had a lovely day out on the water. Food was phenomenal and shout out to the chef for the meal! This was seriously the most amazing day and we can’t thank the crew enough for all their hard work!

By far the highlight of my Zanzibar trip. The island from above was just so beautiful plus the exhilarating feeling of jumping from the plane made the activity special. Everybody in the team especially my skydiving partner made sure that I was comfortable and made me feel relaxed before jumping.

We had an absolutely fantastic day on this tour—it truly packed in the very best of Zanzibar in one seamless experience. Booking through Viator was easy, and the tour was well organized from start to finish. Our first stop was the Tangawizi Spice Farm, and what a sensory experience! They explained how the spices and fruits are used to heal the body, and we were able to taste the fruit—it was delicious! We saw, smelled, and tasted cloves, vanilla, nutmeg, ginger, pepper, cinnamon, turmeric, and lemongrass, and learned about their traditional and medicinal uses. The traditional coconut climber demonstration was a highlight not to be missed. Next we went to Prison Island, reached by a scenic 30-minute boat ride from Stone Town. Seeing the 100-year-old Aldabra giant tortoises in their natural habitat was magical, and the island's history—including the 1893 prison ruins—was captivating. Our last stop was Stone Town, the UNESCO World Heritage site at the heart of Zanzibar's history. Walking through its colorful streets, the buildings were explained to us—including the former slave market, the local market, the old Arab fort, the House of Wonders, and the Freddy Mercury House—and we admired the stunning Swahili, Arab, Indian, and British-style doors. Our guide's knowledge gave us a much deeper understanding of Zanzibar's past. We also found a great place to eat for lunch, which was the perfect end to the day. The tour was perfectly paced, excellent value with admissions included, and one we'll never forget. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Zanzibar!
