About this activity

Glide past Stone Town's UNESCO-listed landmarks as the sun descends over the Indian Ocean, transforming the historic waterfront into a canvas of golden hues. This 2-hour sailing experience combines colonial architecture sightseeing with the sensory magic of an East African sunset, complete with drinks and local snacks served aboard.

sailing along the off-shores of the historical and fascinating coast while the sun sinks into the Indian Ocean starting to paint the town with its pastel amazing colors, tourists are taking the sea view passing around house of wonders, palace museum, old dispensary, custom house etc.
As the sun sets, you will experience the most peaceful feeling. With just the sound of the water splashing beneath you, enjoy our open bar inclusive of cold soft drinks, beer & wine served along with Zanzibar snacks. As dusk folds in, return back to Stone Town under the influence of dimly lit storm lanterns, with the stars and the moon glowing above you. So relax among the large Persian style cushions and flowing chiffons.

After a wonderful time head back to the hotel for relaxation.
