Water excursions
Lunch not included
Escape to the sparkling waters of the Indian Ocean with a boat trip to Nakupenda, a beautiful sandbank near Stone Town whose name means “I love you” in Swahili. Board a traditional Swahili dhow or another suitable local boat and enjoy a scenic journey across the turquoise sea. In approximately 10–25 minutes, depending on the departure point, boat type, and sea conditions, you can reach this idyllic coastal retreat. Once there, relax on the soft white sand, swim in crystal-clear waters, or snorkel to discover colourful fish and other marine life, where conditions allow. Fresh tropical fruits, refreshing drinks, and local snacks can be arranged to make your visit even more enjoyable. Optional massage services may also be available through local providers, subject to advance arrangements. Nakupenda is an excellent choice for couples, families, and travellers seeking a relaxing escape close to Stone Town, with plenty of opportunities for swimming, photography, and enjoying the tropical scenery.
