Tour Plan
Your journey begins with a warm welcome at Zanzibar International Airport or pickup from your hotel in Stone Town. You will be transferred to Nungwi, located on the northern coast of Zanzibar, known for its white sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters. The scenic drive takes approximately one and a half hours and passes through charming rural villages and coconut plantations. Upon arrival in Nungwi, you’ll check into your beachfront hotel or resort, where you can relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The afternoon is yours to unwind at the beach, explore the hotel facilities, or simply take in the beauty of the Indian Ocean. This first day offers the perfect start to your beach retreat.
After enjoying breakfast at your hotel, your day starts with a visit to the Mnarani Turtle Aquarium, a conservation sanctuary dedicated to protecting endangered sea turtles. You'll learn about marine conservation efforts and even have the chance to feed or touch the turtles. Following the aquarium visit, a guided tour through Nungwi village gives you insight into local Swahili culture, traditional boat-building, and handmade crafts. In the afternoon, you’ll have free time to enjoy the beach or take part in optional water activities like snorkeling or diving. As the sun begins to set, you'll board a traditional dhow (wooden sailing boat) for a relaxing sunset cruise along the coast, complete with soft drinks and the gentle rhythm of the waves. It’s the perfect way to end a day in paradise.
Begin your final day with a leisurely breakfast while soaking in the sea breeze. You’ll have the morning free to enjoy one last swim in the ocean, sunbathe on the beach, or explore nearby shops for souvenirs. If you wish, optional excursions such as snorkeling, a spa treatment, or a beachfront massage can be arranged. After check-out, you will be transferred back to Stone Town or the airport, depending on your departure schedule. This marks the end of your unforgettable Nungwi Beach Zanzibar Tour, leaving you with memories of sun, sea, and serene island moments.
