🍃Nature, 🗺Adventure: while not expecting too much from the “Spice Tour”, this little adventure was a treasure!The guides are friendly and knowledgeable, their English is excellent. The history and reasons how/why specific spices came to and were grown in Zanzibar, is fascinating.If you like nature and enjoy experiences that are slightly off the beaten track, Hakuna Matata Spice Farm in Dole is one to add to your list.If you don’t particularly enjoy botany or obscure adventures, this may not be the ideal stop for you.📌Note: bring some mosquito spray for your ankles, as the spice tour takes place in thick and humid “jungle-like” conditions. There is an opportunity to buy small packets of home grown spices at the end of the tour, only cash is accepted.

It was an interesting tour, you see many types of spice trees.Here I ate the best pilau dish!I dont like the fact that all guides ask for tips, literally, although the tour has already been paid for.It’s not that at the end you do not give tips, but seriously, the attitude is too much.

Best life expirience in Tanzania, lot of fruits, spices and very good guide. We spend 3 hours and it was amazing

Insightful guided tour around the spice farm. We saw where they grow fruits like red bananas and jackfruit as well as seeing so many different spices like nutmeg, cardamom, pepper, vanilla and cinnamon. We also watched one of the guys climbing one of the coconut trees.

Great place for assorted spices and fruit with professional tour guides

Very good place! Food is really great! They have a mix: lokal food with Italian food, since the hotel is managed by Italian owners.And the most important thing is a hotel has a pier, so you can swim while low tide..

This is not really a spice farm, but more a show for tourists - a few trees and plants in a forest. They also perform bit of a show off for tourists which for me was too much.

A great way to learn about the trade that gave Zanzibar the title Spice Islands. The people are friendly in a way that cant be taught at tourist guide school. Spend freely here - it all goes to the people who live here. A blast to your senses and you will appreciate the flavours your add to your daily cooking just a little more.

The workers were very friendly and helpful, also very informative and answered all questions relating to spices. A beautiful forest to walk around and spend the day in.

Great experience with a very well known guide. Youre taken through the spices plantations and educated on how they make the different spices followed by Mr Butterfly climbing a palm tree for you and the opportunity to buy locally produced soap and spices and indulging in local fruits. Bit overpriced compared to market prices in Stone town but well worth the visit.

We arranged this tour with our guy Abdul (Starfish Tours) and we loved the experience overall - it was mind blowing to see where the spices that we take for granted come from and our guy Mohammed was able to demonstrate all the spice plants and presents all the different flavors and smells. What we didnt like were the myriad of demonstrations and ploys for staff to get more tip money but considering how far a dollar goes it didnt hurt to tip a couple of bucks for fruit and a coconut climbing demo

Washroom/WC take a lot to be desired.The tour itself was informative and interesting, if not a little too long.Spices they push for you to purchase at the end.

This farm is so special. The people there are really nice. We had a guide that gave us a detailed tour on all the spices in the farm and he would give us samples of everything. At the end of the tour they gave us hats made from tea leaves and Butterfly sang and danced for us on the palm tree.

Ask for Eddie. Hes an excellent guide there. Enjoy the visit 😊

Had an amazing time with my wife. The guide is very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. I Will definitely come back here again and again. It is one of those go to places whenever you visit Zanzibar.

Hakuna Matata Spice is a amazing placeWhen you visit Zanzibar please dont Miss this

The amazing spice farm i have seen around the island zanzibar !

Great tour. Great guide

Very nice place!!I decided to go in this spice farm as they had the best reviews as compared to others. And I wasnt disappointed!Weve been taken into the farm for around 2 hours, with explanation on each spice and plant.Fruits to eat at the end, and not very expensive as compared to others (10$ for 2)I recommand

Amazing experience. Learnt a lot about how spices are grown!

An experience that every visitor to Zanzibar should experience

Our guide was amazing and very friendly and knew very well everything that he was talking about.The other guy was making incredible baskets and crowns by banana leaves during our visiting there.And also another guy was pretty good who was climbing the coconut tree and singing on the top of the tree,even it has just rained and the tree was wet and hard to be climbed.Highly reccomend this farm.And the name of the farm is so cool.

Sweet people, fresh and tasty fruits!!!

Nice farm. We saw many interesting things and the guys there are sooo friendly.They gave us complimentary fruits and they made hats and necklaces to give us too.Totally recommended!!!

Whan you come in Zanzibar first place to visite... amazing place...

On holiday, local tour visit. Very interesting information on spices. Enlightening, inspirational. Your guides excellent, friendly, knowledgeable, very poor community...needs assistance & upliftment. Keenly priced.not expensive.

Interesting place :-)

Late me sea ti

Ive heard great things about this place, My wife and I cant wait to visit.

A very good moody farm. The tour guide was very prepared for him who helped him continued to make us or a bag or a hat or necklace or ring from various plants. At the end, with a salt show, we were coconut. Lunch was also very delicious. Where they go through the not the real farm but a demonstration garden where all the plants can be found, which is important. It was a great experience for me. There is also a school for what you should see what the students learn here under the circumstances.

Great farm with a visitor section, very educational and delicious to boot. It is precisely the fresh fruits and spices that show us Europeans what things really taste like when they are not picked unripe, dried or otherwise mishandled.

Spice farm the best an employee of the company is called Omar Zanzibar which is not at all good he only thinks about money and shows us that we only have to go shopping where he shows it is not ok a note he is not in the photo everything else was ok

I was expecting something more but I strongly recommend any European to visit this farm with a guide. You will be surprised where the spices come from and what they look like before they reach our stores.

Cool place, cool people, interesting stories about what and how it is made.Hakuna Matata :)

A very businesslike and informative experience. The local praise was very pleasant and aware. The teaching about the world of local spices was wide-ranging. Lunch great, delicious and delicious. I really recommend it to everyone who wants to learn and experience something new in their daily lives. Thank you

Of course we were here just a year ago, in precovid era still. The van departs from their resort and parks in a space that appears to be part of the jungle. You go down and you are immediately in the jungle. Start the tour, of course with a very good local guide, where all imaginable and unimaginable spices and tropical fruits are shown. Of every spice and every fruit everything is explained, and a taste is given, always welcome in the humid heat of the place. You also cross a real local village, where the children come to meet you, really happy to see new people, and take you by the hand to show you parts of their village, especially the school, their pride. At the end of the tour (quite long), we sit on a log, all together, and enjoy the fruits collected by the boys during the tour and a coconut, which one of the village boys collects right at the moment, climbing a very tall plant . If you want, you can buy perfumes and spices. An experience different from everything, which I liked.

Definitely worth a visit. Guide to super interpretation, fruit tastings and the possible purchase of spices, coffee and tea. Pleasant people, in short hakuna matata🙂🙃😉

A great time spent as a couple :) Left to follow a local cooking class with our Chef, we had the chance to discover with her the local market of Stone Town then visit with a local the spice farm (in private) with very beautiful discoveries on the use of each plant. Finally, we took a cooking class with all our shopping for the day in the village of the farm ^^I recommend this activity to you, whatsapp number +255 773 701 880

Well signposted, near a school. We had an English tour with an employee on site. It was very detailed and really interesting. We learned a lot about pepper, nutmeg, vanilla, aloe vera, cinnamon, lemongrass and ginger, among other things. Sales and tasting possible on site.

The guide very competent and with an impeccable Italian. I discovered all my ignorance about spices, it was very informative. They adorned us with very cute braided flowers and accessories. We saw a coconut climber (amazing) and drank and ate some very good coconut as well as a lot of other good fruit including the Jacob fruit that I didnt know existed. There is the possibility to buy bags of spices, perfumes and soaps made by them. There is a toilet. You will pass by a school before starting the tour, if you plan to bring school supplies from Italy this is one of the many places where you can donate them.

An amazing and fun place. There is a tour and explanations about everything. It is fun to catch a coconut tree, and ornaments from plants on the farm. Very enjoyable.Fun place, include a tour and a show of climbing a coconut tree. Decorations from the farm plants.

Small farm where you can see many fruits and spices: coconut, pineapple, star fruit, jackfruit, stink fruit, papaya, Zanzibar apple, allspice, cloves, turmeric, pepper, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla, lemongrass, orange, coffee beans.I found it very interesting to see how the fruits and spices grow before we process them. The tasting afterwards was great! Especially the pineapple was awesome! So sweet and juicy - really great!

On the island of Zanzibar there is not a lot of visits so that you have to do it. It is not transcendent but remains interesting if you like spices and other fruits.

We had an excellent guide who not only walked us through the farm, talked about all the plants and how they are processed, but also showed how the locals live, where children go to school. The excursion was divided into 4 parts. In the first he led us through the farm and showed the life of the bridge. In the second we introduced “butterfly man”, who can climb a palm tree for coconut. In the third we got a really delicious lunch prepared from local ingredients and in the last part we could buy roots directly from the farm (but it was more expensive than in Spice shops in the city).

If someone is interested in more than an hour walking on the ala farm is ok, the middle place is a bit neglected, the tour guide was not interested, interesting to tell about the cultivation of spices and fruits. Generally, I do not recommend.

You can learn interesting things about the plants that grow here. Some information is surprising. Nice guides. It is worth taking this trip.

We were with a Polish-speaking guide, interesting place, lots of information, tasting ripe fruit. Worth a visit.

You can see it, very interesting.

Nice place. As a guide, I recommend the Polish-speaking Janek. Hakuna Matata

Farm is ok, unfortunately our guide wasnt really motivated..Fruit tasting very good 👌

A beautiful place. Here you can see how a lot of diffrent spices growing. At the end theres a coconut show and fruit degustation including durian. Theres a great shop with all local spices, scented oils, soaps and incenses.Lovely place. You can see many different spices growing here. At the end there is a coconut show and fruit tasting, including durian. There is a great shop with all the local spices, essential oils, soaps and incense.
