Description

Begin your adventure at the Spice Farm, where you'll be greeted by the bright colors and amazing smells of tropical plants. As you walk through the lush gardens, friendly guides will show you different spices like cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and vanilla. Touch the spices and even taste fresh fruits right from the trees. Next, learn about how these spices are grown and used in cooking. Engage in the preparation of some traditional Zanzibari dishes, making the experience even more special. Next, take a boat ride to Prison Island, once a quarantine station and now home to the giant Aldabra tortoise colony. Walk among these gentle giants, some over 150 years old, and explore the island’s historic buildings and turquoise waters. Continue to Salaam Cave, a hidden sanctuary where you can swim alongside friendly sea turtles in a natural spring-fed pool. Enjoy feeding them and capturing incredible photos in this unique setting. End the day at The Rock Restaurant, perched dramatically on a rock in the Indian Ocean. This world-famous dining spot offers stunning sea views and fresh seafood. Whether you choose to dine or simply take photos, it’s an experience you won’t forget.
