Tanzania > Seas the Day in Zanzibar with Nichelle

The doctor called and said you need a prescription of vitamin sea. That’s why we’ve created this trip to Zanzibar!

Zanzibar isn’t just a destination; it’s a vibe – where crystal-clear waters, vibrant marine life, and endless white-sand beaches set the stage for unforgettable adventures. Over six sun-soaked days, dive into experiences that connect you to nature, culture, and your crew, from snorkeling around the coral gardens of Mnemba Island to swimming with sea turtles in a local lagoon. Wander through the villages, share laughter on a sandbar picnic, and explore a wildlife sanctuary where conservation meets close encounters. Designed for the free-spirited and fun-loving, this trip is all about building memories, forging friendships, and living unapologetically in the moment. Whether you're chasing sunsets or stories, this is your perfect escape.
