The spice farms are not working farms, but are set up for tourists. Still, it’s interesting to see where so many different spices come from. We see a wide variety of spices being grown — cardamom, clove, nutmeg, cinnamon, black pepper, turmeric, and lemongrass, among others.

Your guide will explains about the spices that are grown on the farms for the guests to see. Watch a local man spring up a coconut palm tree, singing at the top of his lungs the whole way. He brings down a couple of coconuts that they break open so you can drink the milk and eat the coconut flesh.
spices
Various fresh tropical fruits that are in season can be sampled. Local home grown spices can be bought the farms, which helps support the farm and the local community.

Prison Island or by another name Changuu Island is the middle islet of the three visible from the Stone town, it takes approximately 30 minutes to get there by a wooden boat powered by and outboard engine.

The prison on this island was built in 1893, which was later used as a Quarantine Hospital, it has a frangipani-lined path around the island where the former patients took their evening walks.

Apart from the Prison ruins you can also see the beautiful peacocks and the enormous giant tortoises some of which are over a 100 years old. Sultan Said brought these tortoises here from Seychelles in the 1820′s.

Efforts are being made to protect the eggs of the tortoise. The island is a superb scenario for the photographer. A self-walking safari covers the island in 15minutes.
