6Hrs – City tour & Sunset Dhow Cruise

A combination of sightseeing in Stone Town and a sunset cruise. The tour starts in the afternoon
in Stone Town. It commences with a visit to Zanzibar’s colorful market. Alive with the buzz of
locals bartering fresh vegetables and baskets of tropical fruit, amongst the heady smell of Jack
fruit (and many other exotic fruits) we continue on to the site of the cathedral built in 1874. The
cathedral signifies a potent time in Zanzibar’s history and stands on the sight of a past slave
market, its high altar standing on the exact site of the whipping post. Slavery was abolished in
1873 through a decree passed by the then current Sultan of Zanzibar. From here we visit the
residence of the late Sultans of Zanzibar, ‘Tip Tip House’, the Old Fort, ‘Peoples Palace’ and the
House of Wonders’, full of intrigue and vivid history from a bygone era. The tour ends with a
stroll through the narrow streets of the old stone town, the heart of Zanzibar’s vivacious history.
Later in the evening you take a ride in one of our traditional sailing boat of the type used for
centuries for carrying cargo between Zanzibar and the Arabian Gulf. The boat ride will give you
an insight into the real Zanzibar. Our boats are equipped with safety equipment, sunshade,
snorkeling equipment and boarding ladder. Sit back and relax, enjoy the Zanzibar breezes and
crystal clear turquoise waters while sipping a drink accompanied with bites/snacks.
