Overview

Three days for people who'd rather do something than lie still. A working spice farm outside Stone Town in the morning — cardamom, clove, nutmeg, tasted off the tree — a traditional dhow out along the coast at sunset, and a full day snorkeling the reef off Mnemba Atoll, which is as good as Indian Ocean snorkeling gets. Groups are capped at eight so the boat never feels crowded.
