Nungwi, located on the northern tip of Zanzibar, is the perfect spot for a cultural and relaxing day out. This half-day tour allows you to dive into the local way of life while enjoying the stunning white-sand beaches.
Start your morning with a visit to the local fish market, where you can watch fishermen bring in their fresh catch. Depending on what was caught overnight, you might see a variety of fish like Tuna, King Fish, and Dorado, as well as smaller sea creatures such as squid and octopus. It’s a lively and fascinating sight, full of local energy and color.
Afterward, take some time to explore the village and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of Nungwi Beach. You can relax on the soft sands or take a swim in the calm, clear waters.
A highlight of the tour is the Baraka Natural Aquarium, a special spot where you can see endangered sea turtles and vibrant fish in their natural habitat. The aquarium is a natural formation created by years of wave erosion against the coral bedrock, making it a unique and scenic place to visit.
For a truly authentic experience, don’t miss a stop at the Nungwi Boat Yard, where you can witness the impressive craftsmanship of traditional wooden dhows. Here, you’ll learn about the process of dhow-building—from sourcing the wood to constructing the boats and launching them into the sea.
