3 Perfect Days in the North of Zanzibar
Only three days in Zanzibar? Stay in Nungwi or Kendwa and follow this plan. It mixes adventure, sea, culture and relaxation, without long drives.
Day 1: off-road and sunset
In the morning, relax on Kendwa beach and try the transparent kayak or a jetski filmed by drone. At 14:00, leave on the guided quad tour: secret beach, village visit and fresh coconut on Kendwa beach. End the day with the BoomBoom sunset cruise, or a private sunset dhow for a romantic evening.
Day 2: dolphins and turtles
Early start at 8:00 for Mnemba Atoll: wild dolphins, snorkelling over the coral and a swim on the sandbank. Back around 13:00, have lunch, then swim with the sea turtles in Nungwi. Finish with a hot stone massage on the beach.
Day 3: history and spices
Head to Stone Town for a guided walk through the old city, then visit a spice farm to taste cinnamon, cloves and vanilla. Prefer the sea? Choose Prison Island and the Nakupenda sandbank, with a barbecue on the sand.
Bonus: a memory for life
Add a FlyDress photo shoot on Kendwa beach: a long flowing dress, a drone and a professional photographer. The photos are always the favourite souvenir of the trip.
