About
Set sail on one of Zanzibar’s most memorable full-day ocean experiences. From the fishing village of Fumba, cruise through the beautiful waters of the Menai Bay Conservation Area aboard a traditional dhow. Discover Zanzibar beneath the surface with a guided snorkeling experience, explore the ever-changing sandbanks and enjoy time swimming in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. Continue to a peaceful mangrove lagoon where you can swim, relax and enjoy the unique coastal environment. When it is time to refuel, enjoy a delicious Swahili-style seafood lunch accompanied by fresh tropical fruits and refreshments. Safari Blue is more than a boat trip — it is a full day of sailing, snorkeling, island exploration, local food and pure Zanzibar ocean atmosphere.
