A great day out

Published on May, 2025

Started the day with a very rainy day although we didn’t let this put the mood down, Hassan picked us up from the hotel at half past 8 we then drove to stone town where we got on the boat and went to prison island (we went to prison island first as it was raining heavily in stone town) . Had a walk round seeing all the tortoises and learned a little about the history of the island, from there we went onto Nakupenda island which was absolutely beautiful and the water was crystal clear! We then sat down as Hassan and the team cooked our food. It is only seafood along with chips and fruit so if you aren’t big on seafood I would definitely put in comments to make sure there is something for you. We didn’t but the chips and fruit were definitely more than enough. After food we enjoyed the time on the island in the sun. Hassan told us more about the history of Zanzibar and Tanzania which was very interesting. We then made our way back to stone town where we walked round all the landmarks and seen Freddie mercury's house and also learnt all about the slave trade. Overall a great day out and would highly recommend. Couldn’t thank Hassan for the great tour guide that he was! Also the boat trips are not for everyone as it was very wobbly and wouldn’t recommend fit anyone that gets sea sick

Great day out with lots to see

Published on Apr, 2025

Our tour guide was able to give us lots of information about Zanzibar and all the attractions we visited. Friendly and fun experience. We saw the tortoises and we were not expecting to see so many they were from babies to 132 years old. Then we went for lunch in the Nakupenda were the views and island was so amazing. We went snorkelling and chilled in the sun. Before heading back to stone town although it was a wet day Husain was brilliant went at our pace provided lots of information and made it a truly informative day

A Day Well Spent

Published on Apr, 2025

Hassan was my tour guide for the day, and he was excellent. Very punctual with starting the day at 8:30a as listed, and from there on was very knowledgeable about the history of all the places we visited in Stone town and Prison Island. Ending the day at Nakupenda beach was the icing on the cake. The seafood lunch at that location was in abundance (I certainly couldn't finish it all) and I felt like the time we spent there was catered towards what I wanted to do. By the time I got home, I actually had to take a nap. I would highly recommend!

Fantastic Tour with Hassan

Published on Apr, 2025

This was an amazing tour. First, our tour guide Hassan arrived on time and was ready to make it a great day for us. Everything was mapped out perfectly but he also allowed us time to explore a little more as we were on the tour. He was very knowledgeable and it’s obvious he loves sharing the history of ZanzIbar. The lunch provided at the Sandbank was an incredible seafood platter which they bbq on the spot. You can’t go wrong booking this tour. If there is a way you can request a tour guide when you book, request Hassan. You will not regret it.
