To avoid scams, ask your hotel to book a trusted taxi or contact them via WhatsApp. Short trips in Stone Town: 5-10 USD, between beaches: 30-40 USD.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Payment: Dollars, Euros, or Shillings accepted. Have small change, as drivers don&#8217;t always have change for large bills. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Dala dalas: The authentic local experience<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is a dala dala?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These colorful minibuses (or converted trucks) are THE local way to get around Zanzibar!
