Wonderful Experience - James was great, and he had a lot of insight on the local culture and people. He let me know all of the options that I had at each different place. Each location was wonderful, and I had a fun time at each one.

A great visit to see the natural beauty of Zanzibar - We had a wonderful day with James. He was very informative with a great sense of humour as well as being a very careful and safe driver. The guide at the Jozani forest was also excellent. The cave and the beach were lovely. The beach is stunning! Everything was timed well and we never felt rushed. We were back on time to our cruise ship. We had an excellent day! Thanks!

Great trip and wonderful experiences - This was a really great trip and I enjoyed it a lot. The beach in Paje was absolutely stunning and a true highlight. The visit to Kuza Cave was a very peaceful and special moment, and seeing the Red Colobus monkeys was amazing as well. Unfortunately, a heavy rain shower slightly affected that part of the experience, but it was still very memorable.
A special thank you to my guide James, who was a very pleasant and professional guide. He made the day even more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this trip!

Great day out 🫶 - If ever you’re in Zanzibar this is a must
From my driver to guide I had a great experience
The rock restaurant was stunning..I reserved online as it does get busy and rightly so
Jozani forest was great the walkways and the monkeys fantastic too see
The stroll along the beach would have been great but unfortunately I was mobbed by locals trying to sell their wear even after telling them I had no money but they were pleasant enough
I just wanted a nice quiet walk 🤦♀️
Kuza cave was pretty cool and lovely swim
But definitely the driver topped off the whole experience he reshuffled times for me and just had great conversation and laughs
Definitely definitely definitely recommend

Lovely Tour - James was the best! Great driver and was very willing to accommodate me as to time spent at each location. Jozani National Park was probably my favorite as we got to see many of the Red Colobus Monkey. The Kuza Cave was wonderful! Very nice to swim since it was so hot outside. The beaches were also lovely. I appreciated how James spent just the right amount of time at each place.

Have a good day. - Great activity , our francophone guide was very good.
Visit the forest, monkeys, mangrove .
We were able to swim in the kuza cave for 30 min.
Lunch in Paje to enjoy the beach.
The time a paje was a little short we had the trouble of eating and bathing 1h30 about against 3h on the description.
The durations shown for activities are not the right ones the slots are much shorter.
Nevertheless this is still sufficient

Between peace and relaxation - Day full of emotions and expectations. Close encounter with the blue monkeys immediately, just entered the Jozani Forest. Sighting of some specimens of red monkeys (almost "luck stroke" for their shyness according to the local guide).
Feeling of silence / peace / relaxation in the mangrove area where at low tide you can also observe crabs.
The tour continues with a visit to Kuza Cave where as per local tradition you should emerge into the waters of the spring. "Swimming takes away all pain... too bad the protruding rocks that could cause new pain on knees and elbows. The water is fresh. Surprising that it is drinkable.
Fascinating limestone concretions both from the ceiling and the walls. Almost surreal atmospheres thanks to the lights during the swim.
Quick jump to see The Rock restaurant. We had not booked lunch, but it was also 11.30.
The tour ends at Paje beach - beautiful white beach that even at low tide gives you a sense of infinity, peace and relaxation. Used a lot for kate-surfing. On the waterfront for pretentious bars, restaurants and spas for all tastes (in almost all accept electronic payments).
The local guide has provided us with a lot of useful information for customs, customs, traditions of the people of Zanzibar.

Take some shoes for Kuza... - Take some shoes for Kuza Cave as the rocks are sharp.
Take some insect repellant for Jozani Forrest and know that the Rock restaurant is not really in the ocean. It is just surrounded by water during the high tide. We it was low tide when we were there so we just walked right up to it.
