Itinerary

  • Day 1: Golden Dhow Sunset Cruise
    Nungwi

    Drift into Zanzibar’s golden hour aboard a graceful wooden dhow, the wind filling your sail as you glide along the northern coast. Departing from Nungwi or Kendwa, this three-hour cruise begins with a guided snorkel at Kendwa Reef—an enchanting window into the island’s vibrant coral gardens just before dusk.

    Whether you’re celebrating a romantic sunset for two or gathering friends and family for an unforgettable evening, we offer a variety of dhows—each professionally crewed and outfitted with life jackets, first-aid kits, sun shades, boarding ladders, and waterproof bags. Accommodating between 16 and 25 guests, you can lounge on the main deck or climb atop the cabin for a panoramic view as the sun drapes the sky in amber and rose.
