Description

Step aboard a cozy traditional Swahili dhow, reserved just for you and your companion. With no crowds, no rush, and only your crew onboard, this is an intimate snorkeling experience designed for couples, friends, or solo travelers who value privacy and authenticity. As you sail across the turquoise waters, your captain will anchor by the calm lagoon and reef areas where you can swim, snorkel, and enjoy the refreshing Indian Ocean. Here, you can swim and explore the reef at your own pace. While the marine life is more modest than in Zanzibar’s famous snorkeling spots, you can still discover a lively underwater world: tropical fish, colorful corals, sea stars and the unique marine life of Zanzibar’s southeast coast. The experience is enriched by the serenity, beautiful coastal views, and the charm of traditional dhow sailing. After your swim, unwind on deck with a platter of freshly cut tropical fruits and cool drinking water. The boat ride itself is part of the magic - watching the sails catch the wind and feeling the quiet rhythm of the ocean. This 2.5-hour private trip is perfect if you’re staying in Jambiani or nearby and looking for a unique, intimate, and cultural snorkeling experience without traveling far.
