The
mystical Island of Zanzibar offers visitors a variety of
interesting tours and excursions, which will allow you to
discover the Island and learn more about its fascinating history
and people.
Visitors can
explore the heritage and history of the famous Stone Town, now
designated a World Heritage Site. This includes visits to the
city market, the old Anglican Church located on the site of the
old Slave Market and the National Museum of Zanzibar. Later
visits to the Old British Consulate, the Old Fort dating back
since 1700, House of Wonders and Livingstone House give visitors
an insight into Zanzibar’s rich history. Leisurely walks
through the winding alleys and narrow streets will take you to
the small exotic bazaars and local curio shops.
 
Visits to the spice
plantations will dazzle your senses with fresh spices. On the
way visitors can stop at the old Sultan Rest House to view the
Persian Baths built in 1850 by Seyyid Said bin Sultan (first
Sultan of Zanzibar) for his wife Princess Shehzard. A unique
opportunity to visit the local farms and talk to farmers who
will show you the traditional spices and fruits of Zanzibar.
One of the
Island’s most popular excursions, and a unique opportunity to
see the numerous dolphins, which inhabit the sea in the southern
part of the Island, not far from Breezes.
After a transfer to
Kizimkazi, visitors can board a local dhow and head off in
search of the dolphins. It is important to remember that these
beautiful marine creatures are not tame in spite of which they
come very close to the boats in large numbers. Snorkeling at
these sites is also possible. The return trip includes a visit
to the Kizimkazi mosque, believed to be the first mosque in
Zanzibar and indeed one of the first in East Africa, which still
contains the famous Kufic scripts in its walls.
The only remaining
natural forest on Unguja Island is a heaven for nature lovers!
With a rich variety of bird species, Jozani also offers the
unique opportunity of seeing the very rare Red Colobus Monkey
which is indigenous to the Island of Zanzibar.
 
This excursion
caters to those who are snorkeling enthusiasts and who are
interested in spending a relaxing day at another beach. From
Stone Town you can board a local dhow and head towards Prison
Island.
This historical
Island was formerly owned by an Arab and used for the
confinement of refractory slaves. It was bought by General
Matthews and the jail (gaol) which still stands, was built in
1893 and hence the name Prison Island.
While on the
island, you will see the Giant Tortoises, which are the main
attraction of the Island. The beautiful beach is an ideal spot
for sunbathing and the clear waters lend to excellent
snorkelling.
A wonderful
opportunity to meet the local people of the Island in the nearby
village of Bwejuu. This trip is one of our most popular
excursions and it is organized as part of a community project
called “Breezes for Bwejuu!”
Visit the homes of
the local villagers, see the clinic and meet the children in
their school and nursery. This is a unique perspective into the
true culture and way of life of Zanzibari people.
The proceeds of the
tour go directly to a fund, which we have set up to benefit the
village and this is a special way that you can make a connection
and assist us in making a difference for the people of Zanzibar.
 
A quick transfer to
one of Zanzibar’s most beautiful pristine beaches at Michamvi
Kae. Relax on the beach and swim in the clear blue waters while
our crew prepares a delicious seafood BBQ on the beach. After
lunch, you will board the traditional local Ngalawa Boats (which
are carved out of the trunk of a mango tree). Local fishermen
will take you through the Mangrove forests of this part of the
island. A perfect venue for a relaxing day to enjoy the sun,
swimming, a great lunch and a local boat trip.
Just of the
northern tip of the south east coast of Zanzibar, experienced
crew will take you out for half or full day in search of
Barracuda, Tuna Fish, Kingfish and if you are really lucky you
may even catch a sailfish or marlin. For the fisherman that got
lucky, the Chef will prepare and cook the catch for your dinner.
