Why Choose Zanzibar for Island Hopping?
Zanzibar, an archipelago off the coast of Tanzania, is a dream come true for travelers seeking adventure, relaxation, and cultural immersion. Known for its rich history, diverse culture, and stunning landscapes, Zanzibar is home to several islands that each boast their unique charm.

By choosing to go island hopping with Guides of Africa, you’re opening the door to a world of possibilities. Imagine sailing from one breathtaking island to another, soaking in the sun and indulging in the crystal-clear waters of the Indian Ocean. Our expertly designed boat trips and island hopping tours ensure that you see the best of Zanzibar while experiencing its rich marine life and lush landscapes.
The Allure of Zanzibar’s Islands
1. Unguja Island (Zanzibar Island)
The largest island in the archipelago, Unguja is where you’ll find the bustling capital of Stone Town. A maze of narrow alleys, ancient buildings, and vibrant markets, Stone Town is the heart of Zanzibar’s cultural heritage. As you wander through its streets, you’ll find a blend of African, Arab, Indian, and European influences that have shaped its identity over the centuries.
Do not miss the chance to visit the House of Wonders, the Old Fort, and the spice markets. After soaking in the history, head to the stunning beaches of Nungwi and Kendwa for a perfect sunset view. With Guides of Africa, you can enjoy guided tours of Stone Town followed by relaxation on these idyllic beaches.
2. Pemba Island
Often referred to as the “Green Island,” Pemba is famous for its lush vegetation and stunning coral reefs. It’s less frequented than its sister island, Unguja, offering a more tranquil escape for those looking to immerse themselves in nature.
With Guides of Africa, you can explore Pemba through our exclusive boat trips that take you to the best snorkeling and diving spots. The underwater world here is teeming with vibrant marine life, including tropical fish, turtles, and even dolphins. Imagine the thrill of swimming in these pristine waters, surrounded by the vibrant colors of coral reefs.
3. Mnemba Atoll
Just a short boat ride from Unguja, Mnemba Atoll is a private island that offers some of the best snorkeling and diving experiences in Zanzibar. This idyllic paradise is a marine conservation area, ensuring the preservation of its exquisite ecosystem.
With Guides of Africa, you can enjoy a day trip to Mnemba Atoll, where you can snorkel in crystal-clear waters, relax on the soft sandy beaches, and even indulge in a picnic under the swaying palm trees. The chance to see dolphins in their natural habitat makes this trip even more special.
4. Chumbe Island
Chumbe Island is a small coral island and a protected marine park that is famous for its stunning ecosystems. It combines a rich marine environment with lush coastal forests, making it a unique getaway for nature lovers.
Our guided tours will take you to this hidden gem, allowing you to explore its coral reefs while learning about the efforts to conserve this delicate environment. Enjoy a day of snorkeling, nature walks, and relaxation in one of the most beautiful spots in Zanzibar.
