Tanzania · SUNSET DHOW CRUISES
Good sunset dhow cruises fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 4 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Watch Zanzibar’s sunset from a wooden dhow with live drumming, fresh fruit, swimming, hotel pickup, and a $19 price tag.
“The drummers and staff were the highlight. Was a good length of time on the sea. If you get seasick easily then I do not advise. The provided fruit and drinks. Just wished the people on my boat were happier. Great value for money”
Sail from Nungwi on a traditional dhow for sunset views, tropical fruit, local drumming, dancing, and an optional swim for $19.
“Lovely experience. Drummers and singers are loud if you sit near the front of the boat, so sit near the back if you have sensitive ears.”
Visit Maasai World Village, wear traditional attire, then sail Zanzibar’s coast on a shared dhow cruise with sunset views and fruit.
“It’s was very nice tour ever , we experience a lot of culture from Masai and the sunset was amazing! I really recommend it”
Review of Stone Town's $39 sunset dhow cruise, with coastal views, local snacks, music, timing, meeting point tips, and honest value advice.
“Really enjoyable time, but it lasted about 1 hour and 20 minutes, not 2 hours as advertised”
Pick a park, a summit or a stretch of reef.
