Itinerary and highlights

A spice farm in Zanzibar—often called a Spice Tour—is one of the island’s most popular cultural and eco-tourism experiences. Zanzibar is known as the “Spice Island”, and visiting a spice farm lets you see, smell, and taste the spices that made the island famous.

What You’ll See on a Spice Farm

Guided tours typically include demonstrations and tastings of spices and tropical fruits such as:

Cloves (Zanzibar’s signature spice)

Cinnamon

Vanilla

Nutmeg

Cardamom

Turmeric

Black pepper

Ginger

Lemongrass

Cacao (for chocolate)

Coffee

Breadfruit, jackfruit, pineapple, banana, and more tropical fruits

You’ll learn how each spice is grown, harvested, and used—for cooking, natural medicine, and cosmetics.
