Experience the magic of a Zanzibar sunset aboard a traditional dhow, sailing along the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. The Sunset Dhow Cruise offers a perfect blend of culture, scenery, and relaxation.
As the dhow sails from Stone Town’s harbor, you’ll enjoy panoramic views of the historical city skyline, the ocean breeze, and the warm colors of the setting sun. Traditional Swahili music may play softly in the background, setting the tone for a peaceful evening.
Cold drinks, fresh fruits, and light snacks are served on board. Ideal for couples, families, and solo travelers, the cruise is a beautiful way to end your day in paradise.
The cruise typically starts between 4:30 PM and 5:00 PM, depending on the sunset time. Guests are advised to arrive at least 15 minutes early.
The dhow departs from Forodhani Gardens in Stone Town, right near the waterfront.
You will enjoy soft drinks, bottled water, light snacks, and fresh seasonal fruits. Some cruises may offer local music or light entertainment.
Yes, it’s a calm and family-friendly activity. Children love the boat experience and the scenic sunset views.
Some dhow operators offer alcoholic drinks for purchase. You can also bring your own if allowed – check when booking.
We recommend light, comfortable clothing, a camera, and a light sweater or shawl as it may get breezy during the evening.
