During this tour, you will visit the Seaweed Centre to learn about Seaweed farming, which is increasingly becoming Zanzibar's big export.
Located in Paje, this social enterprise creates opportunities for female seaweed farmers to improve their standard of living and engage in economic development activities that benefit the whole community. Depending on the tide you will see how the women harvest their seaweed and understand the hard work that shapes a seaweed farmer’s daily life. Afterwards, you will gain insight into the processing centre and factory located in the village. Here you get the rare opportunity to see how the seaweed gets transformed into desirable beauty products like organic soaps and essential oils. This tour can be conducted during low tide and costs US$ 25 per person PLUS transfers from/to your hotel.
