Beaches glisten beneath the moonlight, and sounds echo through alleyways of coral houses. Wild dolphins will play as you swim alongside them, and tropical colors will greet you at spice plantations and reefs. Welcome to the most exotic island of them all, where white sand escapism meets ancient heritage in the Indian Ocean. This one-week tour covers Zanzibar’s key highlights, having you stay at beaches on two sides of the island with three nights in Stone Town as well.
Customizable Itinerary
Day 1
Zanzibar Town to Nungwe – White Sand and Escapism
Small coral cliffs will provide the jagged backdrop to Nungwe’s sand, with the beach turning into a series of bays at high tide. At low tide, you can walk for hours. When the water rises, it creates privacy as each beach becomes cut off from the next. Your resort hotel will be perched on these coral cliffs, with barefoot access to the sand and plenty of sunny and shady spaces to lounge throughout the day. It will be a one-hour transfer from Zanzibar’s only airport, and from this northern tip, the Indian Ocean will seem endless. Just gaze out and soak up the views, especially when the tide comes in and the turquoise colors come so near.
