The best way to experience Zanzibar Sunset on a traditional wooden dhow with the wind in a sail and watching the sun set is on the North of Zanzibar coast. We set sail in the late afternoon and cruise along the coast, slicing through the turquoise water. framed by the stunning African sunset, sit back, relax and enjoy the peaceful ocean as you hear the ripple of water on the slide of the dhow. After you step into the local dhow sailing boat . The skilled Crew on Board take the dhow about 1km away from the seashore by means of an engine, once in the sea, the engine shuts off and during a tense moment, the Skillful Crew sets up the sail and once the sail is in favor of the wind.

It’s a time for enjoying fun and chilling evening, sink back into the dhow bench and enjoy the romance of Zanzibar island while the sun sets down with it’s beautiful orange and red colors. The fiery golden Sun setting beyond the horizon is breathtaking as it makes the sky a magical canvas of shades of pinks, purples, blues and oranges.
