Fumba waters are between Zanzibar and the mainland, lying on the Zanzibar Channel, which makes this area almost always calm.

Now, it’s time to step into paradise and appreciate the wonders of mother nature: leave your shoes, cell phone, IPod and all likewise stuff on the boat, and walk on this “whitey sandy bank”. Feel under your feet the fine white sand, look how it’s delightfully surrounded by blue waters and covered by a blue-sky; seriously, what more can you ask for?
Well, we say you deserve more! Snorkelling here is stunningly beautiful; this area is part of the Menai conservation and largely unspoiled. Our friendly crew is ready to hand you our high standard snorkelling gear and guide you to the best-kept underwater treasure to see all colourful fish and sometimes turtles. If you choose to just chill on the sand bank, refreshments will be served throughout. From here you are taken to swim in a natural pool sitting between old coral rocks and mangrove trees, and there are no crocodiles!
It is now time to go to Kwale Island to enjoy your seafood buffet, seated almost in the ocean; rock lobster, prawns, calamari, octopus, 2 types of fish, coconut sauce and rice and chapatti- yummy! Dessert consists of almost 10 different types of exotic fruits and Zanzibar coffee. Take a sun bed, relax and reflect on this tiny paradise that belongs to you for a day and then back to Fumba- what a happy ending!
Disfruta de una excursión de un día entero a bordo de un dhow – el tradicional navío de casco ovalado y vela triangular. Los barcos salen del pueblo pesquero de Fumba, el cual es el punto de inicio ideal para explorar la bahía de Menai, el área de conservación marina más extensa de Zanzíbar. La bahía alberga varias islas deshabitadas, bancos de arena, vida marina impoluta y aguas turquesas y es el destino favorito de los delfines jorobados y los delfines mulares o «delfines de nariz de botella», por lo que hay una probabilidad muy alta de avistarlos.
El tour también te brinda la oportunidad de hacer esnórquel en un arrecife y saborear un delicioso almuerzo de mariscos. Tras el almuerzo, aprovecha y únete a una experimentada tripulación para navegar en una «ngalawa» o canoa de balancín hecha a mano con un solo árbol de mango. Cuando la marea lo permita, puedes nadar a través de un exuberante bosque de manglares en una laguna escondida. Además, puedes escalar un gigantesco e inusual baobab o, si lo prefieres, simplemente admirarlo desde el suelo.
Al acabar el día, la tripulación levanta una vela latina (si el viento lo permite) para emprender el viaje de vuelta a Fumba.

La isla Changuu, también conocida como la isla de la Prisión, se encuentra a unos 30 minutos en barco de Stone Town.
La isla fue usada para encerrar a los esclavos insumisos, aunque en realidad no hubo prisioneros aquí, si no que la isla se convirtió en un centro de cuarentena para las epidemias de fiebre amarilla. Fue comprada por el general Lloyd Mathews, quien construyó un complejo penitenciario en 1893; de aquí el sobrenombre de la isla de la Prisión.
En 1919, el gobernador británico de Seychelles envió un regalo que consistía en cuatro tortugas gigantes de Aldabra, hoy en día una especie amenazada. En la isla hay una fundación dedicada al cuidado de las tortugas.
El tour incluye una vista a esta histórica isla y te brinda la oportunidad de observar y alimentar las tortugas. Además, si lo prefieres, podrás nadar, tomar el sol o practicar el esnórquel.
