Exclusive Private Sunset Dhow Sailing Tour in North Zanzibar

About this experience

Experience an unforgettable evening on board one of the traditional Dhow Sailing boats. We will sail from Kendwa beach along the north coast of Zanzibar passing the coast line of Kendwa, Nungwi and neighbouring villages. While we start in the golden sun in the late afternoon, you will experience a smooth sail into the sunset hours. The team will take perfect care of you, so you can lounge on the spacious deck of our boat and enjoy the exclusive views and some cold drinks of your choice as well as snacks. After the sun has set you will slowly return back to the starting point, taking in the breathtaking views and glimmering lights of the coast.

The team on board are an experienced crew that puts the needs of our clients and their safety as their top priority. We are happy to arrange for any special wishes you may have, knowing that this trip offers the perfect spot for celebrating any special event you may have.
