Sunset Mangrove Cruise
Duration
Sunset cruise (approx. 1½ hour)
Departure 17h00
Return approx. 18h30
Breathtaking Sunsets
For this excursion, guests will meet at the bar at 17h00. Depending on the tide, you will walk a short distance where the Ngalawa, a local sailing boat with outriggers, will be waiting for you. If you would like to take drinks on board, they are not included in the price, but can be ordered from the bar in advance and a cooler box is available.
Highlights of the Cruise
With good wind conditions, the Ngalawas pick up speed swiftly and you will sail out into the bay before landing on the sandbank near the mangroves. A local guide will explain the different types and characteristics of the mangroves, and, if the tide is not too high, you can wade in the warm water and enjoy the natural wonders of the ecosystem.
After this little guided tour, you will return to Michamvi with hoisted sails, if wind conditions allow it.
This is a wonderful, no fuss experience that supports local Zanzibarian businesses and is not to be missed!
