Start Your Morning on the Water Head to the southern coast (typically departing from the historic fishing village of Kizimkazi) to embark on an exciting local fishing excursion. Board a traditional or charter boat to try your hand at catching local game fish in the rich waters of the Indian Ocean, while taking in the stunning coastal sunrise.

Head inland a short distance to the mystical Salaam Cave (also known as the Coral Cave). Descend into the cool, crystal-clear turquoise waters of the natural freshwater pool to swim and interact with the friendly green sea turtles safely sheltered inside. It is a unique spot for memorable photography and a refreshing dip.

 Conclude your day at Mtende Beach, one of Zanzibar’s most unique and rugged southern shorelines. Best visited around low tide, walk along the dramatic coral cliffs, explore the hidden coves, and marvel at the striking natural rock formations overlooking the turquoise ocean.
