 Pongwe Beach by PeteG
Get a boat out to the old Prison island. Should only cost about $30 for a couple. Stay all day and go and see the giant tortoises that live there. They are brilliant. Leave a Comment

No visit to Zanzibar Island can be complete without a tour of the Jozani Forest. Any tour of Jozani will show you: The Rainforest, Red Colobus Monkeys (endangered species) and the Mangrove Swamp. The Forest is the last uncultivated/inhabited area on Zanzibar. Land crabs and the shy Blue Monkey are also present during your visit. You can either book a tour or just transportation, but do not miss Jozani!
The cost of entry to Jozani is very low so you will have to haggle big time for transport. You really need a good zoom camera and loads of film or memeory. The Red Colobus are inquisitive and will come very very close. They also move like the wind and it is very hard to just take a few photos to capture them.
I will build tips on the 3 seprate parts, but do not overlook the Blue Monkeys while you are here. They are very quiet and interesting, but usually ioverlooked.
** If you are driving there, watch for large Blue Monkeys running across the road where the speed humps are! ** Leave a Comment

 Mangrove forest of Jozani by SanguiniA
Anyway, this makes for a fun couple of hours exploring the forest and the mangrove forest.
It is quite easily accessible from Stone Town, some 18 km away on an asphalted road. Leave a Comment

 balcony in Stone Town by sachara
Walking in the alleyways you will see nicily carved doors, decorated with brass studs and outer balconies and verandas with fascia boards.
These influences from the Indian subcontinent fit well in the Arab architecture. For more information and pictures have a look at my Zanzibar Town page. Leave a Comment Directions: Stone Town, citycentre

Of course, visiting a Spice Island implies you have to take a spice tour; especially if you like spicy food and want to learn about what makes that food so delicious. Anyway, spice tours can be arranged from stone town as well as from the majority of beach villages; either through the Stone Town visitor center or else from your hotel.
Guided walks in one of the various spice plantations all over the island range from a couple of hours to 4 hours. Would suggest the 2hr ones - it is too hot and is enough to learn about the spices. Zanzibar spice plantations grow an incredible variety of spices ... nutmeg, cardamom, pepper, cinnamon, pepper etc etc. Leave a Comment Directions: Spice plantations can be found all over the island
