Day Trip Details

We will pick you up at your hotel in Zanzibar at the indicated time and head to the nearest pier. There, we will board a boat that will take us to the island of Tumbatu.

While sailing, we will enjoy the scenery of the third-largest island of the Zanzibar archipelago. Upon arrival, we will learn about the way of life of the people of Tumbatu, who rely on solar panels for their energy needs, and discover some of their ancestral customs.

Next, we will explore the ruins of the island, including the Shirazi constructions and the large baobabs, which are over 900 years old.
