    A very good experience. We were close to the dolphins and it was very exciting. The professionals who served us deserve a 10, and we loved everything about it. It's worth it because they then take you snorkeling and we saw the ocean floor near Mnemba Atoll, which was amazing. And the guides were very friendly and attentive.

    If you're going to Zanzibar, I do recommend visiting Stone Town because the center is a maze of streets with beautiful doorways where you can appreciate the foreign influence the island has had throughout history. We liked it, but I'd probably do it in the afternoon to take advantage of the food markets in the squares. I think the price is a bit high, but I understand they'll pick you up from your hotel and that the tour is completely private.

Zanzibar Tours & Activities: Discover Tropical Paradise

Zanzibar is a tropical paradise off the coast of Tanzania, famous for its white sandy beaches, turquoise waters, and vibrant culture. Whether you're looking for relaxation, adventure, or a bit of both, this island offers it all. From bustling markets in Stone Town to peaceful villages and coral reefs perfect for snorkeling, every visitor finds something to love.

A Brief History

Steeped in rich heritage, Zanzibar has been at the crossroads of cultures for centuries. Arab, Persian, Indian, and European influences have shaped its identity, making it a unique blend of history and tradition. The island was once a major trading centre for spices and a hub in the East African slave trade.

Best Time to Visit

The ideal time to visit is during the dry seasons, from June to October and December to February, when the weather is sunny and perfect for beach activities. Avoid the rainy months of March to May and November if you want to make the most of your stay.

Is it safe to travel?

Zanzibar is generally considered safe for tourists. As with any destination, it's important to take common-sense precautions, especially in crowded areas, and always respect local customs.

What currency is used?

The Tanzanian shilling is the local currency. However, US dollars are widely accepted in many hotels and tourist areas.
