Nungwi Village Cultural Tour

NUNGWI VILLAGE CULTURAL TOUR

Time Duration (09:00 - 17:00)

Nungwi Village is located on the north coast of Zanzibar, there is a white sandy beach which is very conducive for swimming and beach relaxation. You will also visit the aquariums - turtles sanctuaries, Nungwi Fish Market, and a place where traditional dhows are built.

Nungwi Fish Market

The best time to visit is in the morning when the fish market is in full swing – depending on the catch the previous night you might see Tuna, King Fish, Dorado and a variety of other large fish for sale. In the morning local fishermen (and women) wade out to the edge of the coral reef to catch a number of different small sea creatures including squid, octopus, puffer fish and the occasional ray – their catch will be sold at the fish market throughout the day.

Visit & Swim at Mnarani Natural Aquarium

Swim with and feed sea turtles at Mnarani Natural Aquarium. The natural aquarium in Nungwi is home to resident sea turtles and a variety of fish. The aquarium itself is a natural formation carved out from the coral bedrock by the erosion of millions of waves crashing against the shore. The depth of the water rises and falls with the tides providing a natural environment for its inhabitants.

Nungwi Boat Building Yard

While watching the white sails of the Dhows go by you might wonder how these impressive boats are made. The Nungwi Boat Yard is a riveting (if you’ll pardon the pun) experience where you’ll meet the shipyard owner and learn how the ships come together; from the sourcing of the wood to the joints used and how they are launched. The best way to round off the day is to go on a sunset cruise and experience the calming sensation of sailing in a Dhow for yourself.
