Overview
Experience one of Zanzibar’s most iconic marine adventures with a full-day Safari Blue excursion through the protected waters of Menai Bay Conservation Area.
Designed for travellers who want to discover the natural beauty of Zanzibar beyond the beaches, this unforgettable ocean journey combines traditional dhow sailing, crystal-clear lagoons, vibrant coral reefs, untouched sandbanks, and authentic island flavours.
Your adventure begins from the historic fishing village of Fumba, where you board a traditional Swahili dhow and sail across the turquoise waters of Menai Bay.

During the day, relax on a pristine white sandbank surrounded by the Indian Ocean while enjoying a freshly prepared seafood feast featuring local Zanzibar flavours and tropical fruits.
With experienced local guides, carefully selected locations, and a relaxed pace, Safari Blue offers the perfect combination of adventure, nature, culture, and island relaxation.
