Zanzibar’s untouched fine sandy beaches are a magnificent snow-white paradise -- the perfect place for relaxing.

Zanzibar has many other nice places to visit. It would be a pleasure to arrange and organize day-trips and tours for you.


[zoom]		Fishing, Snorkeling and Diving The fantastic coral reefs of Zanzibar are ideal for snorkeling and diving. They are still undiscovered dive sites with an extraordinary reef-life of colourful coral gardens and fish of all shapes and sizes, unique in all the world. It is also possible to rent a local fishing boat in Pongwe Village for a memorable fishing or snorkeling trip.


[zoom]		Jozani Forest Jozani Forest is located about 35 km south-east of Stone Town. It is a conservation project aimed at preserving some of the last indigenous forests on the island. It is the home to the rare “Red Colobus” monkeys, which are found only on Zanzibar.


[zoom]		Prison Island Prison Island is one of the nearest islands to Stone Town, just 15-20 minutes by boat. Formerly a treatment centre for people who were diseased with leprosy, it is now the home of giant tortoises imported from the Seychelles in the late 19th century. Prison Island has also a remarkable coral reef ideal for snorkeling.


[zoom]		Spice Tour A spice tour is probably the best way of seeing the countryside around Stone Town. It will give you an in-depth lesson on spices grown on the island, such as cloves, nutmeg, cardamon, pepper, ginger, chilies or vanilla, including their uses in cooking, cosmetics and traditional medicine.


[zoom]		Stone Town The capital of Zanzibar is also called Unguja Town or Zanzibar Town. Stone Town’s labyrinth of narrow streets was declared to UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000 and was praised by UNESCO as "an outstanding material manifestation of cultural fusion and harmonization". You can visit some of the most interesting attractions including Livingstone’s House, Darajani Market, Palace Museum, House of Wonder, Old Fort or Culture Centre (Old Dispensary).
