Safari Blue Zanzibar

is a full-day sailing adventure across the Menai Bay Conservation Area, one of the richest marine ecosystems on Zanzibar’s southwest coast. Departing from Fumba village aboard a traditional wooden dhow, this signature excursion combines snorkeling, sandbank relaxation, and a generous seafood feast into a single unforgettable day at sea.

After boarding the dhow, guests sail across calm turquoise waters with a real chance of spotting wild dolphins along the way. The tour includes multiple snorkeling stops over vibrant coral reefs, where colorful reef fish and other marine life make for an easy, guided introduction to underwater exploration — no experience necessary, as quality snorkeling gear is provided for every guest.

What to Expect on the Safari Blue Zanzibar Tour

A definite highlight of the day is swimming in the hidden mangrove lagoon on Kwale Island, followed by time to climb the island’s famous old baobab tree for sweeping views over the bay. Guests can also relax on a natural sandbank that appears with the tide, perfect for photos and a quiet moment away from the crowds. For guests who enjoy sandbanks, the Nakupenda Sandbank Tour offers a similar experience closer to Stone Town.
