You have to get into the boat from a ladder that goes in 1-2 ft of water Do not wear pants they will get wet Watch your head that you don’t hit it on the sail. The ride stared at 5 we were back at 6:30 The 3 person crew did not talk to us or explain anything.the top of the boat was dirty and had several empty plastic bottles left there . Being on the water was nice but the atmosphere and where we sailed was disappointing- Crew not helpful getting on or off boat.
Fabulous way to end our stay in Zanzibar! The team were amazing throughout and enjoyed drinks and snacks as the sun set - stunning!
Prompt pickup from our hotel, enjoyed having this as a private tour so we could sit back and enjoy the sunset. Enjoyed the commentary from our guide about the different things we were seeing as we sailed.
Overall the excursion was good and a lovely boat trip. However, it was very expensive and for the high cost, I was expecting a little bit more. I didn't get to view any islands (so my experience differed to the description stated on TripAdvisor), and I didn't really feel like I came away with a new experience of the island. The crew were wonderful, but I honestly feel I could have used one of the street touts for 60% cheaper and a similar experience. I'm happy to pay premium and contribute to a community, but a premium cost should be aligned with an outstanding experience.
Ahmed our guide was very nice and knowledgeable. Sadly the boat was mostly stationary near the working harbour and we did not really do any cruising. We were disappointed as cruising/sailing on a Dhow was the on our bucket list.
Love this tour, it was simple and a music band was with us playing Swahili music. I’m glad we had experienced this. We too many sunset picture
Nice sunset cruise. Another route would have been nicer but I guess it depends on the wind direction. The crew picked us up at the hotel and brought us to the dhow. Fortunately we brought our own sparkling wine as they only had soft drinks. But we also got some nuts and crackers. The tour was a little less than 2 hours. But I would always recommend such a sunset sailing and booking was really easy.
You can sit on the upper deck and look over the city. It's beautiful and so peaceful being on the water.
This was definitely a waste of money. Very disappointed in this. I would not recommend this to anyone.
Thank you for taking your time to rate us, we would appreciate it if we could hear more from you exactly why you cant recommend the trip as we try our best to make sure the guest have a great experience. Thank you
Well organized, everything on the cruise was as described. The Dhow is so huge for just two of us, it was something more than special. The crew was super hospitable and professional.
