Upon arrival at Abeid Amani Karume International Airport, you'll be welcomed by your VICMOS representative and transferred to your hotel in historic Stone Town.

Continue by boat to Prison Island to meet its giant Aldabra tortoises, explore the historic prison ruins, and swim or snorkel in the surrounding water.

FAQ

FAQ Expand All

FAQ 1; Do I need kite surfing experience to join this trip?
No — Day 6 includes a beginner kite surfing lesson as one of two included options, so no prior experience is needed. Confident swimmers wanting a gentler activity can choose guided reef snorkeling instead.
FAQ 2; Is the Blue Lagoon suitable for non-swimmers?
Yes — flotation aids are available, and the lagoon's calm, shallow sections make it accessible even for less confident swimmers, while stronger swimmers can explore further out toward the reef.
FAQ 3; Why does the itinerary split between Stone Town and Paje instead of staying in one place?
Stone Town and Paje offer genuinely different experiences — history and culture in Stone Town, adventure and ocean activity in Paje. Splitting the week between them gives you both sides of Zanzibar rather than just one.
