Private Safari Blue Tour - Exclusive Experience with Lunch
Safari Blue is Zanzibar’s classic full-day ocean experience, combining traditional dhow sailing, snorkeling, sandbank relaxation, and a seafood lunch on Kwale Island. The tour starts with hotel pickup and transfer to the coast near Fumba, where you board a dhow and begin your day on the water.
Your first major stop is Kwale Sandbank - a beautiful stretch of white sand surrounded by turquoise water. Here you’ll have time for swimming and a guided snorkeling session to explore tropical marine life. Afterward, you continue by dhow to the Kwale Blue Lagoon, a calm mangrove lagoon area ideal for a refreshing swim and photos.
Later, you arrive on Kwale Island for an extended stop that includes a seafood meal, free time to relax, and the chance to explore or do a bit of local shopping. This itinerary is designed to balance activity with downtime, making it a great choice for couples, families, and small groups who want a complete “Zanzibar sea day” in one booking.
