What to expect

Get ready for an incredible day in Zanzibar with this full-day adventure. Your journey starts in the village of Fumba, where you'll hop onto a traditional wooden dhow that will take you through the beautiful Menai Bay Conservation Area.

This amazing area features peaceful islands, shifting sandbanks, and colorful reefs, making it the perfect spot for two guided snorkeling sessions. Keep your eyes open for dolphins, but remember that seeing them isn’t guaranteed since they’re wild animals.

After your snorkelling fun, you’ll head to Kwale Island for a delicious seafood lunch paired with fresh tropical fruits, all enjoyed right on the sand. Take some time to relax and appreciate the stunning surroundings after your meal.

Your amazing day will finish as the crew turned off the engine and raises the sails to bring you back home in classic sailing if the weather permit.

    Nice safari with the boat, great sights when snorkeling, and a lot of seafood amd fruit to taste. My son's appreciated that there also was a chicken option. Sailing back on sails, without engine, was such a bliss. We could have used a bit more time, both snorkeling and on Kwale Island. Would have loved to know beforehand that wading in waist high water was unavoidable.

    Overall decent trip, great food on the beach. One big issue there were to many people on the boat making it cramped instead of a relaxing experience. 20 on a boat this size is not great and could have easily been split in to two boats.

    Geweldige dag gehad. Zandbank was schitterend mooie foto's kunnen maken. Bij aankomst heerlijk rustig kon er rustig rond wandelen en zwemmen. 2 snorkel momenten gehad,heel veel gezien onder water. De lunch was fantastisch veel vis van de grill. Heerlijk vers fruit. Personeel is vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Wordt veel verteld en uitgelegd. Ruim tijd nog gehad om te zwemmen en relaxen. Bezondere en mooie ervaring.
