The Safari Blue Tour

Zanzibar Ocean Adventure

Overview

The Safari Blue Tour is one of Zanzibar’s signature marine experiences, combining traditional dhow sailing, snorkeling, sandbank relaxation and a fresh seafood lunch in the protected waters of Menai Bay. It is ideal for travellers who want a full day of island scenery, warm ocean water and relaxed coastal adventure.

The excursion usually begins from Fumba village on Zanzibar’s southwest coast. From here, guests board a locally crafted dhow and sail through clear channels dotted with small islands, mangroves and coral reefs. The pace is unhurried, giving plenty of time to enjoy the scenery and learn about the marine environment from the local crew.

During the day, there are opportunities to snorkel over colourful reef areas, swim in calm lagoons and relax on a naturally formed sandbank. A seafood lunch with tropical fruits and soft drinks is served during the excursion, making the tour a complete introduction to Zanzibar’s ocean culture.
