About This Tour
End your day in paradise on a private traditional Swahili dhow — handcrafted by local Zanzibari sailors and sailing directly from the sands of Kendwa Beach. This 2-hour private sunset cruise is the perfect mix of relaxation, ocean breeze, and authentic island vibes.
Step barefoot onto the sand, board your private wooden dhow, and sail north toward Nungwi along one of Zanzibar's most beautiful stretches of coastline. As the sky turns gold and pink, your friendly local crew serves unlimited beer, wine, soda, and water from the open bar — along with light snacks and crisps.
Sit back, relax, and let the rhythm of island music and the sound of the waves set the mood. This is not a luxury yacht, but an authentic, simple, and unforgettable Zanzibar experience — perfect for couples, honeymooners, families, and small groups who want a real Swahili sailing moment without the crowds.
