What you can expect

Your trip starts with a hotel pick-up by our driver from your hotel in Zanzibar (especially Jambiani and nearby areas) and transfer to the beach where your local captain will welcome you. You will board a traditional Swahili Ngalawa boat for a private and peaceful sailing experience.

As you sail on the turquoise Indian Ocean, enjoy fresh sea breeze and beautiful coastal views. The captain will take you to a calm lagoon or reef area where you can swim and snorkel at your own pace. Here you may see tropical fish, corals, and small marine life in clear waters.

After snorkeling, relax on the boat with fresh tropical fruits and drinking water while enjoying the peaceful sailing experience. If you choose the afternoon trip, you will also enjoy a beautiful sunset over the ocean, making the experience more romantic and special.

At the end, you will sail back to shore where our driver will transfer you back to your hotel, ending your trip comfortably.
