Your enquiry

How do you want to spend the days?

Swimming whenever the mood takes you, diving on the reef, or a kite and a lagoon. Those three answers sit on three different coasts.

Our Zanzibar specialist replies within 24 hours with the coast that suits, what the tide will be doing on your dates, and an itemised price.

  • The coast chosen for how you want the days to work
  • Tide times for your actual dates, stated up front
  • Seaweed and wind described rather than glossed over
  • No deposit to see a plan, and no obligation at any point
