Zanzibar Spice Farm Tour

Zanzibar didn’t earn the name “Spice Island” by accident. On this aromatic half-day tour, you’ll walk through lush spice plantations with a knowledgeable guide who shows you how cloves, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom and black pepper grow in the wild. Touch the bark, crush the leaves, and taste exotic tropical fruits straight from the tree. It’s a feast for the senses — and a fascinating look at the crops that shaped the island’s history and economy.
