About This Activity

Embark on an unforgettable journey aboard a traditional Arab dhow, where you will sail across the stunning cobalt blue waters of the Indian Ocean. As the dhow glides through the serene waves, make your first stop on a secluded sandbank, a peaceful haven where you can unwind, enjoy fresh tropical fruits, and snorkel in the vibrant, crystal-clear waters that surround the sandbank. Spend an hour immersing yourself in the beauty of this natural paradise before continuing your voyage to the enchanting Island of Kwale.

This romantic and intimate island offers an idyllic escape from the world, providing a tranquil atmosphere surrounded by nature. Upon arrival, indulge in a delectable seafood lobster lunch, prepared to perfection, before embarking on a scenic walk to discover an ancient Baobab tree, a majestic and awe-inspiring landmark that has stood for centuries. The Baobab’s imposing presence is a testament to the island’s timeless beauty.

Following this spectacular visit, and depending on the tide, you will sail by dhow to the renowned Blue Lagoon. Known for its remarkable hues, the Blue Lagoon lives up to its name, offering a stunning sight of vivid turquoise waters that captivate the senses. Here, take a moment to soak in the breathtaking surroundings and marvel at the untouched beauty of this natural wonder.

If the weather permits, the captain will guide the dhow on a scenic route back to shore, ensuring that your return journey is as memorable as the entire experience. Whether you're seeking romance, adventure, or simply a day of relaxation in paradise, this tour promises to leave you with lasting memories of Zanzibar's natural splendor.
