Kizimkazi Boat Trip

 

Price from:$138USD/person

 

Take a one hour drive from to Stone Town to Kizimkazi, on Zanzibar?s southcoast for a day of dolphin spotting. Kizim­kazi is home to large numbers of bottle-nosed and spinner dol­phins, beautiful coral reefs and tropical fish.

On arrival, you?re given a short safety briefing and the dos and don?ts when faced with these wild animals. Then, you board a traditional ocean going dhow and set sail on the Indian Ocean in search of dolphins.

You can get as close as 10 to 20 metres away from the dolphins. Sleek and grey, they jack-knife through the water, sometimes showing off with jumps and twists. In the past, some tourists have been lucky enough to swim and snorkel with these magical animals. However, the dolphins aren?t tame, and can be shy and elusive. Although visitors see dol­phins on the majority of outings, there are no guarantees. Wheth­er you?re fortunate enough to see dolphins or not, you can enjoy two hours sailing and taking in the sights of the ocean. There?s superb snorkelling in the pristine coral reef and swimming in the clear, warm water of the Indian Ocean.

You?ll return to the beach for lunch, where you can swim in the shallower waters and talk to the crew, who can tell you sea stories about the one that got away.

Advisable

? Swim wear, towel and water resistant shoes.

? Hat and sunscreen.

? Walking shoes. Please dress conservatively.

? Closed walking or hiking shoes

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sunset Dhow Cruises

 

Price from:$135USD/person

 

Step onto the deck of our ves­sels, relax and let us sail you away on a magical sunset cruise to end your day. Our sunset cruises leave Stone Town in the late afternoon to cruise along the coast, slicing through the clear turquoise water.

The sounds of the bustle of busy people in Stone Town grow faint in the distance until they seem only in a memory. Musi­cians take over playing songs of love and loss, as the butler serves canap?s and keeps your glass topped up with your choice of a selection of beers, wine and sodas, encouraging you to sink back into the cushions and en­joy the romance of Africa while watching the scenery drift by.

Onboard our dhow we also have a personal guide who will accompany you on your cruise and give you a tour of Stone Town from the water. Feel free to ask any questions you may have about Zanzibar.

The blue green of the sea con­trasts against the clear blue sky. The sun sets, changing the sky from shades of pinks and blues to magnificent golden colours, as you sail back towards the glim­mering lights of Stone Town in the distance, the wind gently blowing you back to shore.

Returning to Stone Town in the evening to the shores of Ser­ena Hotel, we guarantee blissful relaxation after hours of luxuri­ous sailing around the beautiful island of Unguja.

Advisable

? Towel and water resistant shoes.
