8 hours

Easy

Set sail on a traditional dhow for an unforgettable day on the Indian Ocean! Explore hidden sandbanks, snorkel in crystal-clear waters, and enjoy a seafood feast on a tropical island.

Embark on one of Zanzibar’s most iconic sea adventures — Safari Blue!
Your journey begins in Fumba, where you’ll board a traditional wooden dhow. Cruise through the Menai Bay Conservation Area, home to vibrant coral reefs and rich marine life. Snorkel in pristine waters guided by a professional crew, and keep your eyes open for dolphins that often swim alongside the boat.

Relax on a secluded sandbank, swim in the warm, shallow sea, and enjoy fresh tropical fruits. Later, head to Kwale Island for a mouth-watering seafood buffet including lobster, calamari, grilled fish, and more — all served under the shade of towering baobab trees.

You’ll also have the chance to visit a natural tidal lagoon — a hidden gem perfect for a cooling swim. This full-day trip combines nature, food, fun, and local culture, all in one magical escape.
