4 nice visits but too expensive!
Nice day with 4 activities- Despite the rain in the morning, our French-speaking guide knew how to adapt the timing - Picked up on time in Nungwi but a lot of miles in the car - Competent and nice guide - However, the price is exorbitant considering the services, it's a shame!
Response from the operator: Merci beaucoup pour votre retour Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié les 4 activités ainsi que notre guide francophone. Nous prenons également en compte votre remarque concernant le tarif. Merci d’avoir choisi nos services et au plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau à Zanzibar

Top notch!!!
Do you want to take a tour? Don't hesitate!!! This operator can make variations of the proposed excursion, you don't like the beach? You prefer a visit to the Salaam cave, it's possible!!! The rate is very competitive and the guide Ramadan speaks good French and is very funny!!!
Response from the operator: Merci beaucoup pour votre avis Ravi que l’excursion et notre guide Ramadan vous aient plu. À bientôt à Zanzibar

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Zanzibar: Jozani Forest, Kuza cave, Salaam cave & Rock Restaurant: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Zanzibar City.
How much does Zanzibar: Jozani Forest, Kuza cave, Salaam cave & Rock Restaurant cost?
+
Prices start at $87 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 Zanzibar: Jozani Forest, Kuza cave, Salaam cave & Rock Restaurant 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 Zanzibar: Jozani Forest, Kuza cave, Salaam cave & Rock Restaurant worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 7 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 Zanzibar: Jozani Forest, Kuza cave, Salaam cave & Rock Restaurant?
+
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 Zanzibar: Jozani Forest, Kuza cave, Salaam cave & Rock Restaurant 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 Zanzibar: Jozani Forest, Kuza cave, Salaam cave & Rock Restaurant?
+
Around 2 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 Zanzibar: Jozani Forest, Kuza cave, Salaam cave & Rock Restaurant 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 Zanzibar Adventure Quad with Sunset and Transfer Included, 3 Hours Private Stone Town Walking Tour, Stone Town Private Walking Tour. 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.
