- Zanzibar - Embark on an enchanting island-hopping journey that encapsulates the natural beauty and rich heritage of Zanzibar. The day starts at Forodhani Gardens, where participants board a traditional Swahili dhow to sail across the crystal-clear waters to Nakupenda Sandbank — a picturesque, ever-changing stretch of white sand that vanishes with the tide.
Bask in the sun on soft sands, snorkel through vibrant coral reefs filled with tropical fish, and delight in fresh tropical fruits, homemade bread, ginger tea, and refreshing juices — all served beachside for the ultimate barefoot luxury.
Next, sail to the legendary Prison Island (Changuu). Step back in time while exploring the island’s historic slave prison ruins, and meet the gentle Aldabra giant tortoises, some over 100 years old. After a leisurely stroll or swim, enjoy a delicious Swahili-style buffet lunch with soft drinks — a perfect way to relax with an ocean view.
This experience beautifully combines relaxation, culture, and marine adventure, making it one of the most memorable ways to explore Zanzibar’s stunning coastline. Optional hotel transfers are available for a seamless journey.
