Stone Town and a sunset dhow cruise
On arrival at Zanzibar Airport, meet your local guide and head into the cultural heart of the island.

In the late afternoon, board a traditional dhow for a sunset cruise across the Indian Ocean, then transfer to Nungwi Beach, where dinner awaits at your seaside hotel.
