AT A GLANCE
Know your trip
before you go.
This relaxed late-afternoon cruise departs from Nungwi on a traditional dhow operated by a confirmed local boat supplier. The displayed launch price is for a shared departure from a Nungwi meeting point and assumes a suitable group is operating. A private dhow and hotel transfers can be quoted separately. Departure time changes through the year and sailing is subject to boat capacity, safe sea and weather conditions; sunset visibility is never guaranteed.
