Details of Sea Adventure - by Tales of Zanzibar

Your full-day Sea Adventure rexperience will start embarking on a traditional dhow from the Fumba fishing village. 

Primary the dhow, introduced by the Arabs, was a trading vessel used by the Swahili. They could be massive – it once transported a giraffe to the Chinese Emperor. Today they reflect the craftsmanship of Zanzibari timbers. 

Aboard you will get to know the sea and shores of Zanzibar, islands and coral reefs of a pristine conservation region, the Menai bay, with a chance to take a dip in front of the naturally occurring sandbanks. After a refreshing swim rest on the white sand with a coconut tree providing shade. The crystal clear turquoise water is appreciated also by the dolphins and you can easily see some swimming around the area.

You will visit a 200 hundred years old baobab tree, and the persistent ones may try to climb it and enjoy breathtaking views. With a little luck, you might even see gigantic coconut crabs, living in the hollow trunk. 

Another great opportunity for a swim is in a mangrove lagoon on Kwale Island. Swimming through the branches is quite a special experience! Fingers crossed for a high tide to even enhance it!

In between, you'll sink into the deep blue with your mask and snorkel, swim, perhaps even with a dolphin around. 

You will certainly be hungry with all these activities, so there's an excellent seafood buffet lunch prepared for you.

Do you think it's too active? Don't take part in any of the activities, just relax and indulge in one of the highlights of your Zanzibari vacation.

Short Overview

Zanzibar is best known for its beautiful beaches and warm sea. Explore the coastal line of Zanzibar by a traditional sailing dhow boat.


Starting in south-west Zanzibar in the renowned Fumba village it will take you along the shores to the best diving spots, where you will put on your snorkelling gear and explore the life you'll immerse in. Stop at a sandbank for a little folly and swim in a mangrove lagoon.


Board the dhow and continue with a delicious seafood lunch buffet. Finish strong, with a unique fruit tasting. Or are you for something quite different? Do you dare to impersonate Robinson Crusoe and stay on an island for as long as… Does Friday arrive?

Rainy Season in Tanzania doesn't always mean cancelled plans and flooded roads; some showers blow through in minutes. However, some can mess with your driving or getting to a remote camp. The difference comes down to the month, the region, and how ready you've made yourself. Think of this as...
Kenya's Safari story usually gets told through the Maasai Mara, Amboseli, and the Big Five. However, beyond those famous names there are mountain forests, flamingo-covered lakes, dry northern reserves, conservation projects, and gorges. You can actually walk through on foot on these gorges. That's where an Off-Beat Kenya Safari comes...
A first Kenya Safari usually centres on the big names. For instance, lions, elephants, the Maasai Mara and the excitement of seeing everything for the first time. A second trip feels different. There's less pressure to complete a checklist. There's more room to notice the small stuff: how a herd...
A Hadzabe Tribe Visit Tanzania gets sold on almost every Lake Eyasi itinerary, a dawn hunt, the click sounds of the language, arrows and honey. What most travellers never learn is how much of what they saw was arranged in advance for them to see. This blog explains who the...
Most first safaris get built around a fear of missing out, six parks, six days, a new lodge every night. What you get is a holiday spent mostly in transit, watching Tanzania slide past through a window. A Slow Safari Tanzania flips that. Fewer parks, more nights, deeper time with...
