Great experience!

Marijana_M, Nov 2025

Our driver picked us up at 8 a.m. and we set off for an unforgettable day. We snorkeled at Mmnemba Island, saw countless fish, and enjoyed stunning views on a sandbar in the middle of the ocean and it felt like heaven! Later, we explored the jungle and tried traditional Zanzibari food, the most delicious I’ve ever had. At Salam Cave, we swam with turtles, fed them, and even petted a little monkey. We also swam with dolphins an absolutely incredible experience. The tour ended at The Rock Restaurant, where we enjoyed a cocktail and breathtaking ocean views. Abdullah (who also speaks german), and Tumay were amazing guides, funny, friendly, and full of stories. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Zanzibar. A true must-do!

Unbelievable set of activities, both dolphins and sea turtles. A lunch that will blow you away.

One of the great vacation days of my life! The boat tour with dolphins was incredible— and just the start! Spice Tours are amazing. Lunch was amazing. Guides very professional. Caves…also amazing.

Misleading and Disorganized, But a Few Highlights

Jonathan_S, Jul 2025

While there were some enjoyable moments on this excursion—like swimming with sea turtles and a brief but magical 2-minute encounter with dolphins on the way back from snorkeling—much of the experience was misleading and disappointing. We were promised 3 hours of snorkeling at Mnemba Island, but only snorkeled for 45 minutes far off the coast. The advertised WiFi in the vehicle was nonexistent, and we spent over 5.5 hours in the car due to poor planning. The spice farm and lunch location were different from what was advertised, though the food was traditional and excellent. A major letdown was the reservation at The Rock restaurant, where we were promised two complimentary bottles of sparkling wine—none were provided, and I had to spend $60 out of pocket. While parts of the day were memorable, the package was not delivered as sold,

Quite a bit of time...

Quite a bit of time driving between stops, but well worth the drive. We saw dolphins, had a great snorkel, lunch on a spice farm and swam with turtles.

We were picked up and...

We were picked up and guided around Zanzibar by Abdul who was great fun and very informative about Salaam Cave, Kuza Cave and other places we visited. It was an unforgettable experience and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Best Tour Ever

Talking with the guide and driver. The trip to the sandbar and the exceptional clear water. We got to see so much of the island and scenery

Tour par excellence

Patrick_G, Jul 2024

Unser Guide Abdullah und dessen Fahrer Khalid waren mega. So lustig und zuvorkommend, haben jede Frage beantwortet und uns den Ganztagesausflug verschönert. So muss das sein. Über die Tour kann man sagen, dass diese zwar echt anstrengend ist, da sie über den ganzen Tag verteilt an verschiedenen Orten ist aber es ist sie echt wert. Einfach ein mega tolles Erlebnis. Vielen Dank dafür.
