What Our Customers Say
James Miller
United Kingdom
"The Safari Blue excursion was the highlight of our trip to Zanzibar. The staff was professional, the boat was comfortable, and the snorkeling spots were incredible. The seafood lunch on the sandbank was delicious and plentiful. Highly recommended!"

"We did the Stone Town walking tour and the Spice Tour on consecutive days. Both guides were extremely knowledgeable and passionate about sharing their culture. The tours were well-organized, and the small group size made it a personal experience. Great value for money!"
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I bring on day trips?
We recommend bringing sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, a camera, comfortable shoes, and a light jacket or sweater. For water-based excursions, bring swimwear, a towel, and a change of clothes. Water is provided on all our excursions, but you may want to bring additional drinks or snacks depending on the tour length.
How far in advance should I book excursions?
We recommend booking at least 24-48 hours in advance to secure your spot, especially during high season (June-October and December-February). However, we can often accommodate last-minute bookings depending on availability.
Are the excursions suitable for children?
Most of our excursions are family-friendly and suitable for children. We indicate age recommendations for each tour. Some water-based activities may have minimum age requirements for safety reasons. Please inquire about specific excursions if you're traveling with young children.
What is the cancellation policy for day trips?
Most excursions can be canceled up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Cancellations within 24 hours or no-shows are generally non-refundable. Some specialized tours may have different policies, which will be clearly stated at the time of booking.
