Nungwi Dhow Sunset Cruise

Nungwi, Tanzania

About this experience

Nungwi, on Zanzibar’s northern tip, has a long dhow-building tradition and some of the island’s best sunsets. A late-afternoon cruise aboard a traditional wooden dhow follows the coastline as the light turns gold.

Soft drinks and snacks are often served on board, and some trips stop for a short swim before sunset.
