What to Expect
- Traditional dhow sailing
- North-coast sunsets
- Swimmable beaches
- Nungwi dhow-building tradition
Nungwi has a long dhow-building tradition, and sunset sailing trips aboard these traditional wooden boats are a signature northern-Zanzibar experience. The northern beaches are among the few that stay swimmable through the tides, and the west-facing coast is known for its sunsets.
