## Pemba Island

Known locally as the "Green Island" for its lush, hilly, clove-scented interior, Pemba is the least-visited of Zanzibar's sister islands and rewards travelers looking for genuine seclusion.

Steep coral cliffs plunge into some of the clearest water in the Indian Ocean, creating world-class wall diving that's earned Pemba a cult following among serious divers.

### Wildlife & Highlights

On land, expect quiet fishing villages, centuries-old ruins, and vast clove plantations that once made the island one of the world's largest producers of the spice.

### Best Time To Visit

June–October and December–February for the calmest seas and best underwater visibility.
