Note

Please note: This excursion is not recommended for guests with limited mobility as it involves negotiating steps, climbing a ladder to board the dhow and walking through knee-deep water.

Zanzibar is predominantly Muslim; all guests should be conservatively dressed, with shoulders and knees covered. Photographing individuals in uniforms is strictly prohibited to respect their privacy and security. Always ask for permission before taking any photos of individuals. Please check with your guide if you are unsure about photographing someone. As in the tropics, the temperatures and humidity can be quite high. Lightweight, comfortable clothing with flat, closed-toe walking shoes and sun protection is recommended. Swimsuits should be worn under clothing and swimming towels; waterproof aqua shoes and a change of clothing is advised.
