Overview
A full-day marine excursion around Menai Bay on a traditional dhow: snorkeling in clear water, relaxing on a sandbank, swimming, a visit to an old baobab tree and time at a natural lagoon.
The boat sails from Fumba in the south of Zanzibar, with the day paced around the tide — and a barbecue lunch of lobsters, prawns, calamari, fish, octopus, fries, rice and soft drinks served as published on the trip page.
