Explore Zanzibar Traditional With Sunset Dhow Cruise.

The Zanzibar Sunset Dhow Cruise is a fantastic activity to include in your holiday plans on the Zanzibar Islands. During this evening tour, you get to enjoy a traditional sailing boat experience with our friendly local guides.

The history of these traditional dhows dates back many centuries when Arab and Indian merchants explored East Africa for trade and religious purposes. During that era, they used monsoon winds for transportation between different places. This tour allows you to delve into how this was done.

In present times, Zanzibar locals continue to use these dhows for travel between Tanzania's mainland and nearby islands. They import various goods like charcoal, timber, rice, spices, and more.
