Uroa blue water adventure is a full day boat/ ocean excursion in a dhow, the traditional sailing boat used in Zanzibar. Our well experienced team will accompany you for the day to discover the pristine marine life in Zanzibar and its crystal clear turquoise water. Enjoy a day filled with aquatic activities and new discoveries. Before leaving from the beach of Uroa a short briefing is given. Once boarded, the dhow sets off to explore the bay of Chwaka. Depending on the tide, you can enjoy the leisurely sailing to the mangrove swamp. Be ready with your camera or mobile phones to take pictures of Zanzibar’s interesting birdlife. Then take advantage of our crew’s expertise as they guide you to the best viewing spots for snorkeling close to the coral reef. This is an awesome opportunity to enjoy an impressive range of colourful fish and corals around the bay of Chwaka. This designated conservation region has numbers of beautiful untouchable areas to explore.
