Full-day Dhow Sailing trip to Mnemba sandbank with snorkeling
We are a family-run business providing a high-end sailing experience on traditinal Dhow sailing boats. We are proudly Tanzanian-made with a focus on sustainability.
Our trip will start in the morning from Kendwa beach, sailing along the north coast of Zanzibar, making our way over to the neighbouring island of Mnemba. Arriving shortly before lunch, you will anchor in a nice spot to hop off and snorkel while our team cooks your lunch fresh on board. If we are lucky, we get to watch dolphins on the way. After lunch we will stop on the Mnemba sandbank for some lounging and make our way back to Kendwa in the afternoon, in time for sunset accompanied by some more snacks and drinks on board.
