Nungwi Beach Tour

Nungwi Beach, located at the northernmost tip of Zanzibar, is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful beaches on the island. This full-day tour takes you to this paradise destination where you can enjoy the pristine white sands, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and a variety of optional activities.

The journey to Nungwi takes approximately 1-1.5 hours from Stone Town, traveling through picturesque villages and lush landscapes. Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by the stunning vista of Nungwi Beach with its powdery white sand and azure waters that stretch to the horizon.

One of the highlights of this tour is a visit to the Baraka Natural Aquarium (Turtle Conservation Pond), a community-based turtle sanctuary that rescues injured sea turtles and provides a safe environment for hatchlings before releasing them back into the ocean. Here, you can interact with and even swim alongside these gentle creatures while learning about conservation efforts.

The rest of the day is yours to enjoy at leisure. Relax on the beach, swim in the warm Indian Ocean waters, or partake in various optional water activities such as snorkeling, kayaking, or paddleboarding (available at additional cost). Nungwi is also famous for its traditional dhow building sites, which you can visit to see skilled craftsmen at work using techniques passed down through generations.

Lunch can be enjoyed at one of the beachfront restaurants (at your own expense), where you can savor fresh seafood and local Zanzibari cuisine while taking in the spectacular ocean views.

As the day progresses, you'll witness the unique phenomenon of Nungwi Beach - unlike most of Zanzibar's beaches, Nungwi experiences minimal tidal variation, meaning you can swim throughout the day without the water receding far from shore.

Before departing, you'll have time to browse the local craft markets for souvenirs or simply relax and soak in the last rays of sunshine before the return journey to your accommodation.
