Activity Overview

Drift across Zanzibar’s postcard-blue waters on a traditional dhow, snorkel vibrant reefs teeming with tropical fish, laze on a powder-soft sandbank, and feast on a beachside seafood BBQ. The Ocean Safari is the island’s most loved full-day adventure—perfect for couples, families, and groups who want an effortless, all-inclusive day in paradise. With professional crew, quality gear, and thoughtful touches throughout, you simply show up and let the ocean do the rest.

Tour Highlights

  • Sail a traditional wooden dhow through turquoise lagoons and hidden channels.
  • Snorkel crystal-clear reefs with provided masks, fins, and life vests—ideal for beginners and pros.
  • Sandbank chill-out: swim, sunbathe, and capture those “floating island” photos.
  • Blue Lagoon mangrove stop (tide-dependent): swim in a natural pool surrounded by mangroves.
  • Island BBQ lunch: grilled seafood, coconut rice, chapati, salads, tropical fruits; vegetarian options available.
  • Dolphin sightings are possible (nature permitting), with respectful viewing practices.
