After breakfast proceed to your Safari Blue experience – an unmissable day tour in the waters around the islands of Zanzibar, in a traditional dhow. It includes guided snorkeling, sandbank stop, swimming in a mangrove lagoon and delicious seafood buffet. Transfer to Nugwi Beach, which has perhaps the most picture-perfect beach in Zanzibar. This is because the low and high tides in the area aren’t as extreme and there is a much higher concentration of sand vs seaweed and coral which is more prevalent on the eastern side. There are various activities at the beach as well as turtle conservation ponds. Later in the day drive back to the hotel for dinner, shower, rest and overnight.
