Great full day tour of Zanzibar
We took a great day trip with Beka as our driver and guide in September, covering most of the island. Beka is a great driver, uses a very comfortable late model Toyota van for all of his guests, and is very proactive to customize the experience to our preferences. Highly recommended for any kind of tours you are looking to do in Zanzibar. A few highlights: + Beka found us one of the best spotters and boat driver teams for the dolphin safari portion – spotter put us in the right spots to swim with the dolphin when they would approach the surface out of curiosity. Dolphins swim quite fast, so even just a few seconds makes a huge difference in your experience + We made several last second changes in itinerary, e.g., skip one stop, add a lunch spot, change order, asked for additional time in the forest. Beka handled everything on the fly and made all of our changes and adjustments in real time + Beka went the extra mile at Jozani forest to get us a private tour with one of the park rangers instead of joining a larger group. This let us have more flexibility to enjoy and photograph wildlife / moving at our own pace and staying with certain groups of monkeys or birds.
via Tripadvisor
A long day but saw a lot of the island. If short of time, would recommend. 3 trips in one.
Communication with my driver Beka was excellent. A long day with an early start, but well worth it to see so much in one go.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your great review!

Best tour operator in Zanzibar
Wow what an incredible experience it was great travelling with Minazi tour and Mr beka was an amazing driver who guided us in everything and ensured we had the best of things . I would definitely recommend Minazi tour if you're looking for customised packages with private tours and most comfortable travel . Also the flexibility was great and could change things accordingly .
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you had an incredible experience with Minazi Tours and that Beka made your trip even better with his guidance and care.

Unforgettable Zanzibar Adventure: Jozani Forest, Dolphin Watching, and Kuza Cave
Our recent family trip to Zanzibar, organized by Becka's company Minazi Tour and Safari, was unforgettable.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Full-Day: Dolphin & Monkey Jungle Adventure: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Zanzibar City.
How much does Private Full-Day: Dolphin & Monkey Jungle Adventure cost?
+
Prices start at $130 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 Private Full-Day: Dolphin & Monkey Jungle Adventure take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Private Full-Day: Dolphin & Monkey Jungle Adventure worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 16 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 Private Full-Day: Dolphin & Monkey Jungle Adventure?
+
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 Private Full-Day: Dolphin & Monkey Jungle Adventure suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Full-Day: Dolphin & Monkey Jungle Adventure?
+
Around 6 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Full-Day: Dolphin & Monkey Jungle Adventure 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.
What is included in Private Full-Day: Dolphin & Monkey Jungle Adventure?
+
Included: Entry/admission-Jozani chwaka bay National park; All fee and taxes; and Private Transportation. Not included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Private Full-Day: Dolphin & Monkey Jungle Adventure include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 210 listed pickup locations in and around Zanzibar City. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Private Full-Day: Dolphin & Monkey Jungle Adventure offered in?
+
It is offered in German, English, Italian, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private Full-Day: Dolphin & Monkey Jungle Adventure?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Private Full-Day: Dolphin & Monkey Jungle Adventure wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+

What happens to Private Full-Day: Dolphin & Monkey Jungle Adventure if the weather is bad?
