The route
Why this one
Most Zanzibar packages drive you straight from the airport to a resort and you never see the island. Stone Town first is the correct order — you arrive curious and leave rested, not the other way round.

Questions
Asked before every departure
Which coast is best?
It depends on the tide. The north has the least tidal variation and swimmable water all day; the east is more dramatic and much of it empties at low tide. We will match the coast to your dates.
