Two places, one itinerary

Stone Town and the north coast are different holidays. Most people want both, and booking them separately means paying twice for the transfer across the island. We price it as one trip.

Tide beats hotel

This is the thing nobody tells you: on much of the east coast the sea goes out so far at low tide that swimming is not an option. Nungwi and Kendwa stay swimmable. We will tell you which side you are booking before you commit.
