Day-by-day itinerary

1. Day 1: Easy island arrival

   Meet the driver with appropriate vehicle space for family luggage and transfer to the hotel. The first meal and bedtime remain flexible after travel.

2. Day 2: Stone Town at family pace

   Take a shorter private walk built around stories, snacks and shaded pauses. Older families may extend the route, while younger children can finish early without losing the essential experience.

3. Day 3: Spice country and coast

   Use smell, taste and touch during a guided spice visit, then continue to the beach hotel. Confirm swimming conditions, pool arrangements and meal times on arrival.

4. Day 4: Jozani and island nature

   Visit the Jozani area with a trained guide to look for red colobus and learn about forest and mangrove habitat. The rest of the day remains free.

5. Day 5: Choose-your-own beach day

   Select a gentle boat activity, reef-safe snorkelling for capable swimmers or a completely unplanned hotel day. Activities are checked for age limits and life-jacket availability.

6. Day 6: Departure

   Private transfer with a realistic traffic buffer. Child seats can be requested but must be reconfirmed with the final vehicle supplier.
