Sample Itinerary

Your Zanzibar getaway curated by local experts from our team!

Please note this is a sample itinerary and your actual itinerary would be adjusted based on your selected activities, dates of travel and of course your travel style!

Day 1
Welcome to Zanzibar!

Upon arrival at Zanzibar Airport, you will be warmly welcomed by our local representative for a personalized meet and greet. From there, enjoy a private transfer to your beachfront resort, where you can check in and unwind after your journey.

Breathe in the refreshing ocean air, soak up the tropical surroundings, and enjoy the resort’s world-class facilities at your leisure as your island escape begins.

Day 2
Snorkelling Experience

Set off in the morning for a shared snorkelling excursion to the breathtaking Mnemba Atoll. Cruise across crystal-clear turquoise waters to one of Zanzibar’s most pristine marine sanctuaries, where you’ll snorkel among vibrant coral reefs and colorful tropical fish in an underwater paradise. During the journey, there is a seasonal chance to spot dolphins gliding through the waves, though sightings cannot be guaranteed. Light refreshments will be served before you return to the resort in the afternoon.

The rest of the day is yours to enjoy at leisure — unwind on the powder-white beach, relax by the pool, or simply soak in the tranquil beauty of your island surroundings.

Day 3
Stone Town & Prison Island Exploration

Discover the rich heritage of Zanzibar on a guided historical tour of Stone Town. Wander through winding alleyways, admire intricately carved doors and historic buildings, explore vibrant local markets, and visit landmark sites while learning about the island’s fascinating Swahili and Arab influences.

Afterward, enjoy a scenic boat ride to Prison Island, home to the famous giant tortoise sanctuary. Take in the stunning coastal views, meet these remarkable creatures, and capture unforgettable photos before returning to the mainland.

Spend the afternoon at leisure — relax, unwind, and soak in the serene beauty of your island surroundings.

Day 4
Turtle Conservation & Cultural Tour

Enjoy a meaningful Turtle Conservation Experience, where you will learn about vital marine turtle protection efforts and observe these remarkable creatures up close under the guidance of conservation professionals. This responsible encounter offers a deeper appreciation for Zanzibar’s rich marine ecosystem.

Later, you will also enjoy one cultural experience of your choice: EITHER visit a Spice Village to discover Zanzibar’s world-famous spices and tropical fruits, OR explore Maasai World for an engaging cultural interaction and traditional heritage showcase.

Afterward, return to your resort and spend a relaxed evening at leisure, soaking in the peaceful rhythm of island life.

Day 5
Free Day & Lunch at The Box By Ashley

Ease into the day with a relaxed morning at leisure, enjoying the resort’s activities and tranquil island surroundings at your own pace.

Later, delight in an included lunch at The Box by Ashley, celebrated for its vibrant ambiance and flavorful cuisine — a true culinary highlight of your stay.

The afternoon is yours to enjoy — unwind, take a refreshing swim, or explore optional activities — before ending the day with breathtaking sunset moments along the beach.
