Visit a spice farm, experience the lively Forodhani evening food market, and enjoy a sunset cruise aboard a traditional dhow. For the adventurous, take a snorkeling or diving trip to Mnemba Island—or rent a car and explore at your own pace.

The Riu Palace Zanzibar is a luxury, adults-only beachfront resort located on the stunning shores of Nungwi Beach on Zanzibar’s northwest coast. Operating as a 24-hour all-inclusive getaway, it features spacious suites and villas, three outdoor pools, a tranquil spa, and diverse dining options overlooking the Indian ocean.(A variety of hotel types and choices are available upon request)
Enjoying Zanzibar
After an unforgettable safari, spend several days relaxing and exploring the beautiful island of Zanzibar at your own pace. Lounge on white-sand beaches, unwind by the pool, savor fresh seafood, or discover the island’s rich culture and history. For those seeking a little adventure, optional activities include snorkeling, scuba diving, spice farm tours, exploring the winding streets and colorful markets of Stone Town, and sunset dhow cruises. Or simply settle into island life, soak up the tropical atmosphere, and enjoy having nowhere in particular to be.
Departure Day
Your plans for today will depend on your flight departure time from Zanzibar. If you have an early morning flight, we recommend spending the previous night in Stone Town for convenience. This is also a wonderful option for travelers who would like more time to explore Stone Town’s rich history, vibrant markets, and winding streets.
Please note that this is a typical itinerary, and actual activities may vary due to weather conditions, local events, and to allow serendipity to play a hand in your experience. Accommodations are as outlined in the itinerary, although we reserve the right to change these or the order visited should the need arise.

See single supplement policy below.
SINGLE SUPPLEMENT: Accommodations are based on double occupancy. A single supplement is paid by participants who specifically request single accommodations, subject to availability.
Single Supplement for Scheduled Group Departures. If you reserve at least 120 days prior to departure, you may be eligible for a reduced or free single supplement. This is generally limited to the first one or two solo travelers to reserve, and the reduction is outlined in the pricing for each trip. Free or reduced single supplements are not combinable with other offers or promotions.
If you are traveling alone and wish to share accommodations, we will try to match you with a roommate of the same gender. If you reserve at least 120 days ahead and request a roommate but one is not available, you will receive a $500 reduction from the standard single supplement (unless otherwise noted in the detailed itinerary for your specific trip).
Single Supplement for Custom Tours. Custom Tour prices are generally based on two or more participants; therefore, single supplements for “solo” Custom Tours will vary and are available upon request.

We will seamlessly guide you so that you can simply relax and enjoy your exploration of Zanzibar.
Optional walking, snorkeling, and swimming; activities available at additional expense include windsurfing lessons and scuba diving.
With a Boundless Journeys guide, your experience is that of friend and local adventurer. We believe strongly in working with local guides, experts in the areas to which we travel, and they hold the keys to unlocking the hidden delights of your chosen destination. Although you will never know they are at work—the mark of a truly great leader—our guides make magical things happen and add a dimension to your trip that you could not experience on your own. Over the years we have forged bonds with some of the best guides in the world, and we typically work with a small team of guides in each region. You will be informed of the guide for your trip one month prior to your departure.
Extend your Tanzania adventure with time in Zanzibar, enjoying beautiful beaches, the historic streets of Stone Town, vibrant local culture, and the island’s relaxed coastal atmosphere.
This trip can be your own adventure by taking over one of our scheduled dates, or we can request a fresh one.
