Start your morning with a delicious local breakfast before heading to a nearby Spice Plantation. Known globally as the "Spice Island," Zanzibar’s farms are rich with clove, cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg, cardamom, lemongrass, and many other exotic spices. In the afternoon, enjoy a scenic boat ride to Prison Island, once used to house rebellious slaves and later a quarantine station. Today, it’s home to giant Aldabra tortoises, some over 100 years old.
