Program details

This is a full day excursion on locally made traditional sailing dhows. The boats are leaving from the fishing village of Fumba, which is an ideal starting point to explore Menai Bay, now designated as a conservation area. The bay has a number of uninhabited islands, isolated sandbanks, pristine marine life and crystal-clear turquoise water; and is frequented by humpback and bottlenose dolphins (85% probability of visibility).



The tour includes the chance to go snorkeling on a reef and enjoy a great seafood lunch. After lunch there is an opportunity to join an experienced crew and sail on an “ngalawa” or outrigger canoe made by hand from a single mango tree. When the tide allows you can swim through a lush mangrove forest in a beautiful hidden lagoon. Moreover you can climb a giant and unusual baobab tree, or just admire it from the ground.



When the day is done, the crew hoists a lateen sail (if the wind permits it) as you make a leisurely voyage back to Fumba.
