half day biking to the spice farm and back to stone town

We spent a week cycling the circumference of the island. We went clockwise from Jambiani down to Kizimkazi, then across to Stone town, up via Chuemi to Nungwi. The road home came down the east coast via Pongwe to Jambiani again. We included a 'rest...More

Very interesting farm, but poorly organised trip.

The key part of the this - the tour of the spice farm - was fascinating. The spice farm was lovely and the farmer who lead the tour was clearly proud of his work and keen to tell us about it. He was generous with...More

Spice and sport

My husband and I took a day trip to a spice farm where we were amazed, and sometimes surprised, but what we learned about spices and fruit. The walk through the garden tasting all of these was fabulous, and then the lunch! You can't get...More

Great experience to know Zanzibar

I definitely recommend it as a different way to know Zanzibar. We have ridden the east coast of the island by bike, with Khammis, and it was wonderful. Helen has a lot of amazing hotels along the way, where we have spent 5 incredible days....More

Lovely Tour

Thoroughly enjoyed this biking spice tour through the historic Stone Town. It was beautiful and our guides were super knowledgeable, warm, and friendly. The biking kind of kicked our butts, so be prepared for a scenic, but challenging route. Bless up 🙌🏾

Happy to hear you love our guides as much as we do! They have taken about 500 people around Zanzibar so they know how to share their island and secrets.

Great cultural experience with a workout

Enjoyed the spice tour with accompanying bike ride. Aside from the standard spice tour, the bike ride on dirt roads and through villages gave me a very different perspective on the countryside between Stone Town and the spice farm. It is a very good workout...More

Excellent way to see the spice farm and explore Zanzibar

This was a great trip. The drive in the 'dala dala' was 'authentic' to say the least, but it was all part of the experience and really allowed you to see Zanzibar from a different perspective. The spice farm, run by Mr Spice, was brilliant...More
