Activities
The island is excellent for swimming and short excursions to nearby snorkelling sites can be arranged.
Experienced boatmen and tour guides know the sites well and a great day can be guaranteed.
The diving near Stone Town is excellent for inexperienced divers although advanced divers may find it slightly tame.
The best diving from the Zanzibar islands is off Pemba or the Southern island of Mafia which both offer sites of world renown. However for the occasional diver, there are some excellent sites in the waters off Chapwani and we can arrange diving with one of the well managed diving centres in town.
The island has four canoes, which can be used to explore the coast around the island.
There is a beach volley court on the island, archery, petanque balls, and lots of other games to break up the day.
You can also arrange trips with the local fishermen and sailing on an N’gelawa, the small tri-marans which are the traditional coastal fishing and sailing vessels.
