    Disappointment

    Arrived at 12:30 with my 11 year old grandson by bike, we were served at 1:40 pm without any information, we had an imperative at 4 pm so we ate at full speed without having dessert or coffee, what disrespect for customers my grandson suggests they remove a table of 4 and one of two, we can not win on all the board. The burger was excellent, as was the sardine bread.

    Response from the operator: Merci pour votre retour. Cependant, il semble que cet avis ne concerne pas notre établissement, car nous ne proposons pas le service ou le produit décrit. Si vous avez besoin d’aide pour retrouver le prestataire concerné, nous vous recommandons de vérifier vos détails de réservation ou la plateforme sur laquelle vous avez effectué votre réservation. Nous vous souhaitons une bonne continuation et espérons que vous trouverez rapidement une solution.

    A delusion...

    We had booked this experience with Viator. Reading the overview with the description of what we were going to see, there was everything that interested us: Jozani Forest, Butterfly center, The Rock restaurant and snorkeling with dolphins. I don't know if it was a translation problem on the part of the site, because the description is absolutely not faithful to what they actually take you to see and only what is actually written in the title of this experience is visited and which we were not interested in. The Italian speaking guide Hassan and the driver were very kind and we were disappointed and tried to ask the agency for a solution but it was useless. The visit in the morning was nice but poorly organised, in fact we found ourselves on the beach too early in the afternoon and not wanting to wait 4 hours to see the sunset and take part in a party which also had to be paid for, we wanted to go back to the hotel many hours before...

    Response from the operator: Grazie per il tuo feedback e per aver condiviso la tua esperienza. Ci dispiace sinceramente sapere che il tour non abbia soddisfatto le tue aspettative. Comprendiamo come possa essere stato deludente aspettarsi alcune attività come la Foresta di Jozani, il Butterfly Center, il ristorante The Rock e lo snorkeling con i delfini, e ci rammarichiamo per qualsiasi confusione causata dalla descrizione su Viator. Tuttavia, ci teniamo a precisare che lo snorkeling con i delfini non era incluso nella descrizione ufficiale di questa specifica esperienza. Ci impegniamo sempre a garantire che i dettagli del tour siano chiari e precisi, e stiamo attualmente rivedendo la traduzione e la presentazione della descrizione per evitare malintesi in futuro, soprattutto per i nostri ospiti internazionali. Detto questo, siamo felici di sapere che la nostra guida italiana, Hassan, e l’autista vi hanno trattato con gentilezza e hanno fatto del loro meglio per supportarvi durante la giornata. Passeremo sicuramente i tuoi complimenti a loro. Prendiamo inoltre atto delle tue osservazioni riguardo alla parte del pomeriggio del tour. Concordiamo sul fatto che gli ospiti non dovrebbero mai sentirsi in attesa senza attività, e stiamo già lavorando per migliorare il ritmo e la struttura di questa parte dell’esperienza. Ti ringraziamo sinceramente per la tua recensione onesta e speriamo di avere l’opportunità di offrirti un’esperienza più soddisfacente in futuro.

    An Unforgettable Trip to Zanzibar

    I have just returned from Zanzibar and I would like to write this review to say a big thank you to the staff who were together with us. You guys helped us to have the full experience with the hearty caring along the trip: from guiding me how to do snorkeling patiently, playing with my kids so that we have our own time to explore the natural beauty, taking pictures for my family to save each single memorable moments... All things that impressed me so much. I have highly appreciated it. Absolutely sure, I will recommend Green Zanzibar Tours to my friends. ;)

    Response from the operator: Hello! We thank you for your good feedback. Stay safe and connected have a good day. Asante sana.

    Experience Jozani Forest, Kuza Caves, The Rock Restaurant & Kae Funk Beach Party: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Zanzibar City.

    How much does Experience Jozani Forest, Kuza Caves, The Rock Restaurant & Kae Funk Beach Party cost?

    +

    Prices start at $179 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Zanzibar City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Experience Jozani Forest, Kuza Caves, The Rock Restaurant & Kae Funk Beach Party take?

    +

    Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Zanzibar City is not rushed.

    Is Experience Jozani Forest, Kuza Caves, The Rock Restaurant & Kae Funk Beach Party worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Zanzibar City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Experience Jozani Forest, Kuza Caves, The Rock Restaurant & Kae Funk Beach Party?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Experience Jozani Forest, Kuza Caves, The Rock Restaurant & Kae Funk Beach Party suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Experience Jozani Forest, Kuza Caves, The Rock Restaurant & Kae Funk Beach Party?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Zanzibar City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Zanzibar City and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Experience Jozani Forest, Kuza Caves, The Rock Restaurant & Kae Funk Beach Party start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Zanzibar City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Zanzibar City?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Zanzibar City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 3 Hours Private Stone Town Walking Tour, Stone Town Heritage Walk with local Guide, Zanzibar Adventure Quad with Sunset and Transfer Included. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Zanzibar City?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Zanzibar City?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
