Prison Island & Spice Farm Tour with Lunch & Transfer - Zanzibar

Book Now

7 hours

Easy

A short boat ride from Stone Town takes you to an island where Aldabra tortoises, brought in 1919, roam freely. It's a serene spot for snorkeling and sunbathing, once a quarantine area before the British built an unused prison in the 1890s.
This experience offers a rare combination of Zanzibar’s top highlights—wildlife, history, and spices—all in one unforgettable day. Unlike standard excursions, it blends the serenity of Prison Island’s giant tortoise sanctuary and historic ruins with the vibrant, sensory journey of a real spice plantation. You’ll walk through living history, swim in crystal-clear waters, and explore lush tropical farms where Zanzibar’s world-famous spices are grown.

From meeting 100-year-old Aldabra tortoises to tasting freshly brewed spice tea made on-site, every moment is immersive, authentic, and rich with culture. Add in the chance to climb a coconut tree and snorkel in stunning blue waters, and you have an experience that goes far beyond the ordinary.
