What you can expect

Embark on a half-day excursion to explore a historic street built with coral stone during the 19th and 20th centuries, designated a World Heritage Site in 2000.

Stone Town thrives as a vibrant hub, harmoniously blending Arabic, African, Indian, and European cultures. Navigate the maze of historic narrow streets, where mosques, churches, and temples coexist without the intrusion of cars.

While strolling through the city, your guide will lead you on a captivating historical and cultural journey, unveiling landmarks such as the old slave market, the House of Wonders, the Old Fort, Sultan’s Palace, Darajani market, and Forodhani Gardens.

Following this exploration, a boat ride from the shores of Stone Town will take you 5 km away to the picturesque beach of Prison Island. Initially built in 1893 to house violent mainland prisoners and the infirm, the prison is now transformed into a hotel. Explore the tortoise sanctuary, housing giant tortoises imported from the Seychelles in the late 19th century.

Many of these fascinating creatures, weighing an average of 200 kg, are reputed to be over 150 years old. Enjoy the opportunity to interact with and photograph these magnificent creatures, and witness the island's peacock colony.
