Overview

We are a family-run business providing a high-end sailing experience on traditional Dhow sailing boats. We are proudly Tanzanian-made with a focus on sustainability.

Our trip starts in the morning from Kendwa beach, sailing out and straight over the sea ahead of us towards the neighbouring island of Tumbatu. Given proximity we will have a short transfer over and reach Tumbatu after around 45 min. We will anchor in a tranquil spot for you to take your first jump into the water to enjoy some swimming and snorkelling. During that time our team will prepare a variety of snacks and fruit for you to enjoy afterwards. You can lounge on deck, enjoy the views together with some cool drinks.

We will then continue our journey towards a second snorkel nearby, which offers again possibility for swimming and snorkelling. Tumbatu is well known for being less frequented by tourists and a peaceful environment with a wonderful reef. We will start our sail back to Kendwa shortlz before lunch.

You will be able to swim and snorkel at the Reef in front of Tumbatu Island. We have several beautiful spots where we can anchor the boat and you can explore the underwater world. Since Tumbatu is less frequented then other places around Zanzibar, you will find this to be really peaceful place with hardly any other touristic boats.
