Explore
Luxury Dhow Cruise
Embark on the ancient, yet elegant 62-ft dhow, Sur, for a cruise on the Indian Ocean. Sail towards the magnificent sandbanks and wander around the boat’s two decks, including a lower deck for optimum views, and an open-air upper deck to enjoy the breeze off the Indian Ocean. A beautiful patch of white sand surrounded by turquoise waters is the best place for guests to relax, and for water lovers to discover the marine beauty by snorkeling. Your experience can be customized to include activities such as spearfishing or a private massage treatment. As you sail back, dine on a mouthwatering choice of continental and Asian dishes or a barbecue washed down with a selection of juices and alcoholic beverages. Watch the sun set over the islands of the Zanzibar Archipelago as you drift along in the calm water, guided by ocean breezes. Witness the cerulean sky rapidly change color, embracing hues of rose and violet that spread over an amber canvas. Marvel at the illuminated water, dancing with gold shimmers, as it welcomes the sun’s descent beneath the distant horizon. Travel back to the shore, accompanied by the quiet swoosh of the dhow’s sail, lost in the kaleidoscope of an African sunset.
