please suggest activities in Zanzibar

**Zanzibar Family & Culture Focus!** Escape swimming pools! Our 5-night Zanzibar trip with one adult and an 11yo focuses on culture and local life. Key activities include exploring **Stone Town's** historic streets, taking a **Spice Garden Tour** for hands-on learning, relaxing at **Matanini Beach** or visiting the **Spice Coast**, considering a **Prison Island Tour** for adventure, exploring **fishing villages**, browsing the **Nyumba ya Letu Market**, and enjoying a **local cooking class**. Avoid intense diving; opt for shore snorkeling if interested. This blend offers authentic Zanzibar experiences!

please suggest activities in Zanzibar

we are going to spend 5 nights in zanzibar. We (one adult and a 11yo) are not swimming pool people, therefore we'd like to do/see/enjoy the local place and culture as much as possible. What activities and stuff would you suggest to do in Zanzibar? what should we not miss? i understand that Stone Town is a must, and many also seem to suggest seaside tour or diving experiences. Any insight and recommendation is highly appreciated. thanks in advance
