Beyond Stone Town

Snorkel the reef around a private island off the north-east coast: turtles, reef fish and sometimes dolphins. Non-guests may not land, and there is a 500 m exclusion zone around the island.

Guided walks through farms of cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon and pepper inland from Stone Town. Tours usually include tasting and a walk through the village.

See the 12th-century mosque at Dimbani and the fishing villages of the south coast.

Combine the red colobus walk with a transfer to Paje or Jambiani.
