Tumbatu Island Snorkeling Tour and Sunset Dhow Cruise

1 Day

Overview

Go snorkeling above colorful reefs and see an abundance of corals and tropical fish in Zanzibar’s beautiful clear waters at Tumbatu Island. Keep a lookout for turtles relaxing on the reef.

Get a truly unique view of the Zanzibar sunset while cruising on a traditional wooden dhow. Embark on an evening tour that will introduce you to Zanzibar’s rich landscape, traditional delicacies, and music.

Start your tour with a convenient pickup from your accommodation. After a short drive, board your traditional dhow and discover the history rooted in the Arab and Indian merchants who began exploring East Africa many centuries ago. Sip on a refreshing drink and take in the breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean, while the gentle sway of the boat and the sound of the waves lap against the hull.

On the west side of the islands is an amazing reef, where you can enjoy one of the best snorkeling spots around Unguja. On the boat, the crew will serve you fruit and soft drinks between your snorkeling sessions. The best time to go is around low tide, so you will snorkel just above the most colorful reef and try to spot a wide variety of tropical fish. If you are lucky, you might even see a turtle relaxing at the reef.
