Mikindani Bay Dhow Trip
Home Page Getting There Hotels Activities & Excursions Community Contact Us Special Offers Holiday in Tanzania
Sail a traditional dhow across the sheltered waters of Mikindani Bay to Pemba village and beyond. Dhows have been plying the waters of the Indian Ocean for hundreds of years, this is your opportunity to sail on one of these handcrafted vessels. The journey across the bay can take as little as half an hour in favourable winds. As you cross, keep an eye out for wildlife; butterflies flutter in their hundreds over the water, occasional Fish Eagles patrol the outer bay and there have even been rare sightings of Humpback Whales.
