    Fantastic Tour!

    Our guide, Abdul, was AMAZING. You can tell he really loves history and his job. We didn't swim with the sea turtles but we did feed them (we didn't want to be wet for the rest of the day) and took some good pictures. Prison Island was a much better experience than we had expected (due to the reviews of prison island). It was beautiful and they had a nice coffee shop as well. The Secret Garden restaurant was good and just enough portion sizes. Emerson Restaurant for dinner/sunset was an experience. The course menu was small (fancy for us) but everything was really good and worth the experience on the rooftop during sunset. Abdul made the stone town tour interesting and fun with stops at the spice market, fish market and East African Slave Trade Exhibit. He explained so much about Zanzibar and the history as well. Top Tier tour because of Abdul.

    Great day with the best tour guide Abdul!

    Great experience! We booked through trip advisor as we wanted everything in one package. After booking, the company contacted us to confirm our details and where we were staying so they could pick us up. The driver was there at the time they advised. Our guide was called Abdul who may I say was the best guide I have ever had. He was really informative and knew his history about the whole of Zanzibar and Tanzania. We started off at the aquarium which was beautiful. Abdul was our personal photographer who caught some amazing moments. After we headed to Stone Town to get the boat over to Prison Island. The boat took approximately 20-30 minutes but went quick as Abdul was telling us more about the history of the country and also about Prison Island and why it was built. We arrived at Prison Island and we made our way around capturing the historic views. You will also find the oldest turtle on the island which is 109 years old. After here we went to Stone Town and did the tour. Half way through the tour we stopped at the Secret Garden restaurant for lunch. Lunch is not included so please make sure you take money for it. You can pay with cash or card. As we had lunch quite late in the day we decided to skip dinner (again this is not included so bring money) and continued the rest of the tour. The day was brilliant and I would recommend you book with these guys.

    Salaam Cave, Prison Island, Secret Garden, Stone Town, Kuza Cave: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Salaam Cave, Prison Island, Secret Garden, Stone Town, Kuza Cave cost?

    +

    Prices start at $200 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 Salaam Cave, Prison Island, Secret Garden, Stone Town, Kuza Cave 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 Salaam Cave, Prison Island, Secret Garden, Stone Town, Kuza Cave worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 Salaam Cave, Prison Island, Secret Garden, Stone Town, Kuza Cave?

    +

    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 Salaam Cave, Prison Island, Secret Garden, Stone Town, Kuza Cave 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 Salaam Cave, Prison Island, Secret Garden, Stone Town, Kuza Cave?

    +

    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 Salaam Cave, Prison Island, Secret Garden, Stone Town, Kuza Cave 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.
