Tour Overview

Safari Blue is the ultimate ocean adventure and the most popular sea excursion in Zanzibar. Your day begins at Fumba fishing village where you'll board a traditional dhow boat equipped with modern safety features.

As you sail through the crystal-clear waters of the Menai Bay Conservation Area, you'll visit pristine snorkeling spots teeming with colorful tropical fish and coral formations. Our experienced guides will ensure you see the best underwater sights, regardless of your snorkeling experience.

The highlight of the day is a visit to a natural sandbank where you can relax, swim, and enjoy refreshing tropical fruits. Later, you'll be treated to a delicious seafood buffet lunch featuring grilled fish, lobster, calamari, and more, served with rice and tasty sauces.

After lunch, you'll have the opportunity to sail on a traditional ngalawa canoe or explore the mangrove lagoons before heading back to Fumba in the late afternoon.
