One of a kind
Wonderful trip, started off with a lunch filled with a variety of tasty foods that highlighted the various spices. Then walking through the fields with guides who shared information and allowed us to smell, feel and taste the spices in their raw forms. Opportunities to ask questions throughout. Ended with the coconut experience - seeing how the locals collect the coconuts, and then drinking a fresh one! A wonderful experience that I would highly recommend.

Fun, educative and delicious
The spice tour was enjoyable and so informative. We got to see all our favourite spices in their raw form and as plants. We also got to eat food made with the spices and enjoy a wonderful fruit platter that made the tour such a delight. Would highly recommend this tour as a must for in a trip to Zanzibar.
