About This Tour
Discover the beauty of Zanzibar's north coast on a traditional wooden dhow — handcrafted by local Swahili sailors and sailing directly from the beach at Kendwa Rocks Hotel.

Step straight from the sand onto the dhow and cruise along the coastline. Enjoy swimming, snorkeling, and relaxing on deck while fresh tropical fruit and cold bottled water are served onboard. The experience is simple, authentic, and full of Zanzibari charm — perfect for couples, families, and friends looking to spend a few hours on the ocean.
This shared cruise (max 20 guests) is ideal for travelers who want a real island snorkeling experience without the crowds or luxury yacht prices.
