Private Day Tours & Ocean Adventures
The best way to see Zanzibar is from the sea. Board a traditional dhow for our signature Safari Blue experience, featuring snorkeling and a seafood BBQ lunch on a sandbank. For nature lovers, Jozani National Park offers a chance to see the rare red colobus monkey, while Prison Island (Changuu) is home to giant tortoises over 150 years old.
Find your rhythm in the heart of Zanzibar where the island's rhythmic tides and whispering spice forests help you reconnect with your body and mind.
The Perfect Post-Safari Retreat
Zanzibar is the classic ending to an East Africa adventure. If you have just witnessed the Great Migration in the Serengeti National Park, climbed Kilimanjaro, or completed your first safari in Kenya, our island itineraries offer the perfect relaxed pace. Swap the dusty game drives for cool breezes and white sand beaches.
