In the evening, wander the streets and choose a restaurant in which to kick back and enjoy good company and delicious cuisine. Dinner and stay overnight in all HB basis.

After breakfast we drive to Kizimkazi fishing village for a dolphin tour, after arriving we take a motorized boat and start searching for dolphins. If we lucky we can use about 5 to 10 minutes cruising on search of dolphins. After swimming with them we go to shallow water for snorkelling before getting back to the beach for taking shower, have lunch and a bit of beach leisure. After leisure we drive to Jozani forest to see the red colubus monkeys and visit the floating mangrove bridge. Jozani has an excellent nature trail and the guides are well trained and informative. A walk through this impressive flora and fauna is one of the highlights Zanzibar has to offer. After the tour we drive back to the hotel for dinner and stay overnight on HB Basis.

A guided town tour takes you through narrow streets of the old Stone Town, where history seems to stand still. Visit the House of Wonders, Fredy Mercury House, the Arab Fort, Zanzibar’s bustling market, former slave market, Tip Tipp House, winding alleyways, ornately carved and studded doors and balconies, two cathedrals and many mosques. After the tour we take lunch by our own cost before taking a boat to Prison Island. The use of the island has changed overtime.

Although it was originally built as a prison it was never put into that function. Later it was used as a quarantine of slaves for the whole of East Africa. The remnants of the built are still visible. The island offers a stunning view of the Town especially during the night; there is very beautiful minor sandy beach where swimming on the crystal waters is marvelous. The coral reefs surrounding the island provide an opportunity of snorkeling. This is also a home of the giant tortoise, which is now under strict conservation. A short-guided tour around the island will provide the real picture. After the tour we ride back to Stone Town to catch our vehicle to the hotel for dinner and stay overnight.

After breakfast, relax at your beach hotel or transferred to Stone town for you last shopping before taken to Zanzibar Airport for your flight back home or your next destination.
