One of the highlights of our trip - We enjoyed a private sunset cruise - there were 16 of us - and the boat and the crew were fantastic. Attentive service, drinks, fabulous spirit and they even carved up a whole lot of fruit on the moving boat to make a fruit platter! And a cake to celebrate our birthday girl. Such a great evening - the team were amazing. Highly recommend

Sunset sailing - An absolutely unforgettable experience. The dhow cruise in Zanzibar was, without a doubt, one of the highlights of the trip. Sailing on a traditional boat, surrounded by turquoise waters and spectacular scenery, is simply magical. The crew was incredibly kind, attentive, and professional, always making sure everyone was enjoying the experience and sharing interesting insights about the local culture and surroundings. The calmness of the journey, the sea breeze, and the sunset views create an authentic and relaxing experience that truly connects you with the essence of Zanzibar. Everything was perfectly organized, and you could feel the care and respect for local tradition throughout. I 100% recommend this cruise to anyone visiting the island—it’s a unique, beautiful, and absolutely must-do experience

Good job guys! - Perfect choice! Beautiful private excursion. The crew is very friendly and accommodating. They are also great chef, we had the best meal in our Zanzibar stay (fish, coconut rice, vegetable soup, local bread), it’s incredible but it’s the true and we are italian, we know about food. 100% recommended!

A tour you won't forget so soon - A great experience. We were welcomed on the boat with snacks, fruits and drinks. Afterwards, you can drive along the coast and enjoy the sunset. Own music can be played via a music box. All in all an excellent tour that can only be recommended.

Unforgettable day - An unforgettable day on a dhow in Zanzibar! We sailed to Mnemba Island, swam in turquoise water, snorkelled among the fish, enjoyed a great meal and watched an incredible sunset. Thank you to Wendy and Sultan for this magical experience.

Unforgettable sunset dhow cruise - We had a wonderful sunset dhow cruise in North Zanzibar! The crew, Captain Sayeed and Wendy, were absolutely fantastic — friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy the trip. The atmosphere was relaxed, the views were breathtaking, and the whole experience felt magical. Pineapple was extraordinary... Highly recommended for anyone visiting Zanzibar!

Beautiful anniversary sunset cruise - Just got back from our Anniversary 3 hour sunset tour. Zultan and his crew went out of their way to make it a beautiful evening. He prepared a huge dinner. Everything was delicious ! Coconut rice , chicken , calamari , lobster , samosas, huge selection of fruit & more. My husband asked if we could order a cake too. They brought a scrumptious cake. Loved watching how they maneuvered the dhow! It’s hard work. It was fun watching the other dhows out there too. The guys were very kind , the water was beautiful and the weather was perfect !
