Dhow Sailing Zanzibar
DAY TRIP • FULL DAY

Sandbank & Dhow Sailing Day

Temporary islands that exist only at low tide. Traditional sailing. Quiet adventure.

You board a traditional dhow at 9 AM. No motor—just wind and sail. The boat glides across turquoise water toward a sandbank that appears only during low tide.

By 11 AM, you're standing on a temporary island—white sand surrounded by crystal water in every direction. You snorkel. Swim. Have a seafood lunch prepared by your crew. Then—the sandbank starts disappearing as tide rises.

The temporary nature is exactly the point. This island won't exist in four hours. That's what makes the moment special.

Best for: Couples, photographers, travelers who value moments over itineraries. Perfect add-on to any Zanzibar stay.
