Itinerary
Day 1 — Arrival in Zanzibar
You are met at Zanzibar Airport and transferred to Kisiwa on the Beach, a boutique beach hotel on the east coast of Zanzibar. The rest of the day is yours to settle in and enjoy the white sand and turquoise water together.
Day 2 — Sea Excursion from Fumba
After an early breakfast you are picked up at 7:30 am and driven to Fumba village, where you meet your boat and guide for a full-day sea excursion. The tour visits three sandbanks, with a seafood lunch on one of them, followed by snorkelling, with a chance of seeing dolphins. You return to Fumba at about 5:30 pm and reach your hotel around 6:30 pm.
Day 3 — Kizimkazi Dolphins and Jozani Forest
After breakfast you are picked up at 7:00 am and driven to Kizimkazi, a fishing village on the south coast, where wild dolphins live in the bay. A local boat takes you out to look for them and to snorkel over the reef; responsible operators keep a respectful distance from the dolphins. After lunch at a local restaurant, you visit Jozani Forest, Zanzibar’s only national park, to walk among the mangroves and see the rare red colobus monkeys found only on the island. You then return to your hotel.

Best Time to Go
This holiday can be taken all year round. In general, Zanzibar’s drier months from about June to October and from December to February are the most popular for beach time and boat trips, with calm seas and good snorkelling. The long rains from about March to May and the short rains around November can bring rougher seas and lower visibility. Dolphin sightings depend on the weather, the tide and the sea on the day. Our team can advise on the best dates for your honeymoon.
