My wife and I had a great beach day on this beautiful island. Our tour guide made it possible because he took time in 2 separate occasions to help me with changing the day of my tour which was awesome! The island is a short boat trip once there you will be greeted with a crystal clear water. Lucky for us the tide was very low so we saw a much bigger island! I would recommend this tour to anyone who is in Zanzibar.

A great experience

Hawi_I, Sep 2024
This was a beautiful experience. There were changes to the meeting time but the captain made sure to let me know a day in advance which I really appreciated. He was really sweet and made sure I had a good experience.

Overpriced!

Yolandi_B, Dec 2021
It was super overpriced. We paid 80USD per person, and later found out that other people paid 40 USD per person. We were ready at 9am, was collected on time, but then had to wait 1 hour to actually get in a boat. There was way too many people in one boat in my opinion. Our guide, Hasim was super friendly and helpful though, which is why I am giving 3 stars and not 1. The guys on the boat was super nice, and made really good food though. Recommendation, don’t book here, rather find a local and negotiate the price

A praia é magnífica, com...

A praia é magnífica, com uma cor incrível! Comemos fruta e também nos foi cedido um toldo! Recomendo esta experiência!

Déçu…

Emma_B, Aug 2024
Nakupenda est un très beau banc de sable. Cependant, à 12h la marée recouvre quasiment en totalité le banc, et tout le monde est agglutiné au même endroit. Beaucoup trop de personne pour un si petit lieu. Notre capitaine Omar, était gentil mais très absent. Nous n’avons pas eu de discussion avec lui, malgré plusieurs tentative…. Jolie, mais trop cher pour l’activité
