Description

Begin your experience in the late afternoon with a pickup from your hotel. Travel through the scenic Michamvi Peninsula, known for its tranquil beaches and crystal-clear lagoons. As the sun starts to descend, board a traditional wooden dhow decorated with lanterns and soft fabrics. Sail slowly along the lagoon, where the turquoise water glows under the golden light of sunset. Feel a gentle breeze, listen to the sound of waves, and enjoy soft Swahili love songs that create the perfect mood. As you sail, enjoy chilled drinks and fresh tropical fruits served onboard. Listen as your private guide shares stories of Zanzibar’s ancient love legends and the connection between the ocean, tides, and romance in Swahili culture. Once the dhow anchors at the Blue Lagoon, find a beautifully arranged private dining setup on the beach — a table lit by oil lamps and candles, decorated with shells and hibiscus flowers. Watch as your personal chef prepares a seafood BBQ featuring grilled lobster, prawns, calamari, and snapper, accompanied by coconut rice, cassava, and spiced vegetables. As you dine under the stars, the ocean whispers beside you and a small bonfire flickers nearby. After dinner, dance barefoot on the sand or simply relax on cushions as the night sky sparkles above.
