3 Day Zanzibar Beach Holiday Tour

Your Zanzibar beach holiday begins with a warm welcome upon arrival at Zanzibar International Airport or the ferry terminal, followed by a transfer to your hotel in historic Stone Town. After settling in, enjoy a guided walking tour through Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the cultural soul of Zanzibar. Wander through narrow winding streets, admire beautifully carved wooden doors, visit historical landmarks, local markets, and museums, and learn about Zanzibar’s fascinating past as a major trading hub during the Arab and colonial eras. The blend of Swahili, Arab, Persian, and European influences creates a vibrant atmosphere that brings history to life. After the tour, return to your hotel for dinner and a relaxing overnight stay.

After breakfast, set off on a scenic boat ride to Prison Island, a tranquil island rich in history and natural beauty. Explore the island’s past, meet the famous giant Aldabra tortoises, and enjoy time swimming or relaxing in the crystal-clear turquoise waters. Later in the day, return to the main island and travel to Jozani Forest, Zanzibar’s largest indigenous forest and a true natural treasure. Accompanied by a knowledgeable guide, walk through lush greenery and mangrove paths while spotting the rare red colobus monkeys and learning about the island’s unique ecosystem. In the late afternoon, transfer to your beach resort, where you can unwind by the ocean, enjoy a delicious dinner, and spend the night surrounded by tropical serenity.

On your final day in Zanzibar, Nelwen Tours & Safaris invites you to enjoy a perfect mix of culture, adventure, and relaxation. Start with an optional visit to the renowned spice plantations just outside Stone Town, where Zanzibar’s “Spice Island” legacy comes alive. With our expert guide, learn how aromatic spices like cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla are grown and processed, and enjoy tasting fresh tropical fruits. This immersive experience provides fascinating insight into Zanzibar’s rich history and traditions.

In the afternoon, embark on a traditional dhow cruise along Zanzibar’s sparkling coastline, arranged by Nelwen Tours & Safaris.
