  • 5Fantastic snorkeling and beautiful water

    Beautiful day on the water! We saw dolphins then did some fantastic snorkeling before spending some time on the sandbank to just chill in the crystal clear waters. I always love getting out on the water and spending it with a friendly informative guide made it even better!!

About Zanzibar City

Zanzibar City is the main town of Zanzibar island, and its old Stone Town of carved doors and narrow lanes carries Swahili, Arab and Indian history.

Stone Town is the old heart of Zanzibar City, a maze of narrow lanes, coral-stone houses and carved wooden doors, shaped by centuries of Arab, Indian, Persian and European traders. The House of Wonders, the Old Fort and the Sultan's Palace face the seafront, and Forodhani Gardens fills with food stalls at dusk. The Anglican cathedral stands on the site of a former slave market, with a sobering memorial nearby.
