Stone town sunset dhow cruise

Dhow cruising has become very popular in Zanzibar as this cruise offers you a different view of Stone Town.  From this angle you will be able to imagine how the early sailors felt when they approached Zanzibar under the serenity of sails and the gentle breeze.

After you step onto the local traditional dhow sailing boat, the skilled crew on board take the dhow about 1km away from the shore by means of an engine, once out in the sea the engine is shut off and during a tense moment the skillful crew sets up the sail, once the sail is in favor of the wind, the guest can sit back, relax and enjoy the peace of the ocean as you hear the ripple of water on the sides of the dhow as it glides swiftly through the water

The sound of the hustle of busy people in Stone Town grows faint in the distance, until they seem to be only in a memory.  As the dhow sails you will be soft drinks & drinking water as well as some Zanzibari snacks.  Sink back into the dhow’s seating and enjoy the romance of Africa while the sun sets with its beautiful orange and red colors.
