Your evening begins with a comfortable hotel pick-up by our friendly driver in Zanzibar, who will take you to the seafront of Stone Town. Here, you will board an authentic traditional wooden dhow, carefully made by local craftsmen. As the dhow gently sails along the coast, feel the warm ocean breeze and relax while the sky slowly changes colour. This peaceful cruise offers a unique way to enjoy Zanzibar’s coastline, with views of beautiful beaches, clear waters, and marine life.

As you sail, you will pass famous landmarks such as the House of Wonders, the Old Dispensary, and the Custom House, while the sun sets over the Indian Ocean and paints Stone Town in soft pastel colours. The cruise lasts about two hours, making it the perfect way to end a day of sightseeing or beach relaxation. The calm atmosphere, gentle waves, and stunning views create a truly unforgettable sunset experience.

To make the evening even more special, enjoy live music performed by talented local artists from Stone Town. While listening to the music, you will be served complimentary snacks onboard, allowing you to relax and fully enjoy the moment. Watching the day turn into night from the dhow is a magical experience and one of the most beautiful sunsets you will see in Zanzibar.

After the cruise, our driver will be waiting to take you back to your hotel for a smooth and safe hotel drop-off, completing a relaxing and memorable sunset dhow experience.
