Meet your tour guide upon arrival and begin your guided tour. This combined excursion covers two different areas: dolphins at Mnemba and Jozani at Chwaka. The whole trip can last 8 to 9 hours, including driving time.

Drive to your first destination, Mnemba, for the dolphin tour. This experience is designed to give guests the chance to swim with dolphins, go snorkelling, and enjoy the blue Indian Ocean off Zanzibar. The dolphin tour usually lasts around 2 to 3 hours.

After the dolphin tour, you will be taken by car on a one-hour drive from Mnemba to Jozani Forest.

In Jozani Forest, see the colobus monkey as well as various trees, dense forest, and mangroves. This tour lasts for 1 to 2 hours, after which you will be taken directly to your hotel.

Start early in the morning, from around 9:00 am until 4:00 or 5:00 pm. At 9:00 am, you will be picked up from your hotel and go directly to Forodhani, where you will take the boat to your first destination, Prison Island. The boat ride to Prison Island lasts about 30 minutes.

Spend about an hour here. You can expect a short history of the island from your tour guide and see the giant turtles.

Around 10:30 am, the boat will take you directly to Nakupenda Island, which takes around 20 to 30 minutes. At Nakupenda Island, also known as Love Island, there is a small white sandbank surrounded by beautiful blue water. Here, you can enjoy the sun, relax, swim, take beautiful pictures, including romantic pictures, and enjoy a seafood lunch with drinks.

After spending around 3 hours there, the boat will take you back to Forodhani, where you will begin your final Stone Town tour. Stone Town is one of the old historical towns with unique building structures, and you will learn a lot about the history of the sultan era as well as famous people such as Freddie Mercury.
