  • 1Not Worth $150 Per Person

    The tour was disappointing, especially at $150 per person. We expected a more organized and engaging private experience, but it felt more like a boat drop-off and pick-up. The driver did not speak English, there was no introduction or explanation of the itinerary, and the assistant provided very little guidance. The Viator description also stated that a snorkeling guide would accompany us and point out places of interest, but no such guide was provided. The dolphin viewing was enjoyable, but the snorkeling was underwhelming, with a patchy reef and a very crowded area. The full experience took about 5 hours including lunch, while the actual activities lasted around 3 hours. Lunch was a seafood platter, which was fine, although we are not seafood people. The service at the end was also disappointing. The driver simply walked away after we reached shore without helping us off the boat or checking that we were following. While this may have been unintentional, it came across as quite dismissive. Overall, we didn't feel it was good value for $150 per person. We've had much better experiences at the same price point elsewhere. The only truly private aspect was having the boat to ourselves.

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.
