What to expect

Embark on a full-day adventure to Nakupenda Island, Zanzibar’s iconic sandbank retreat where turquoise waves kiss powdery white sands. After an easy hotel pick-up, hop aboard a traditional Swahili dhow and cruise the glistening Indian Ocean, sipping ginger tea and tropical juices with homemade bread and exotic fruits served on deck.

Reaching Nakupenda—Swahili for “I love you”—you’ll step onto a magical sandbank that appears only at low tide, revealing a hidden slice of paradise. Lounge under the sun, dip into clear waters, or snorkel nearby reefs alive with colorful fish and vibrant marine creatures.

In between activities, enjoy fresh local fruits, cool drinks, and light bites before feasting on a Swahili-style buffet lunch prepared on the beach. Blending relaxation, authentic flavors, and postcard-worthy views, Nakupenda delivers the ideal Zanzibar day trip for couples, families, and adventurers alike.
