A day on a
dhow in the Indian Ocean
Spend
the day exploring the clear blue waters of the Indian Ocean around the island
of Zanzibar. Sail on a traditional hand-built dhow which has been adapted to
offer a full range of comfortable services such as awnings, boarding ladders,
comfortable seating, refreshments etc; and equipped to the highest safety
standards.
Collected
from your hotel, you will travel to the small fishing village of Fumba, where
you will board your dhow. You will then set sail to explore the Menai Bay
Conservation Area, which features a number of uninhabited islands, idyllic
islets and sandbanks. Often visited by schools of humpback and bottlenose
dolphins, your trip will allow you an 85% chance of seeing these charming and
friendly creatures.
Unspoilt
and beautiful, the Bay is famous for its impressive coral gardens, tropical
fish and mangrove forests; it is also a major turtle protection and breeding
area.
A
seafood and fruit lunch will be served on a tiny island and followed by the
chance to snorkel the clear blue warm waters of the bay (all equipment is
provided). Alternatively you may like to join the crew of a local ngalawa or
out-rigger canoe, which has been made by hand from a single mango tree. Trade
winds permitting, you will return to Fumba under sail and then transfer back to
your hotel. Duration: one full day (Fumba is 18 kms (45 mins) from Zanzibar
Town.)
