From the Forest to the Water: A Different Zanzibar Adventure

Combine two of Zanzibar's most fascinating natural environments in one unforgettable experience.

Your adventure begins in Jozani Forest, Zanzibar's famous nature reserve and home to the island's rare red colobus monkeys. Walk through the forest with a guide, discover the area's unique plant life and keep an eye out for these distinctive monkeys in their natural forest environment.

After exploring Jozani, continue towards Uzi Island for an exciting kayaking adventure. Paddle through the island's beautiful coastal surroundings and experience Zanzibar from the water.

For an even more immersive experience, choose a transparent kayak and look through the clear kayak as you paddle, giving you a unique perspective of the water beneath you.

With several package options available, you can choose between a shorter kayaking adventure or an extended experience that includes lunch.

Explore Jozani Forest

Jozani Forest is one of the best places in Zanzibar to experience the island's natural side. The forest is particularly famous for its Zanzibar red colobus monkeys, an endemic species found on the island.

During your guided forest walk, you'll have the opportunity to observe the monkeys, explore the forest environment and learn more about Zanzibar's native wildlife and vegetation.

Your guide will help you understand the ecosystem and point out interesting features along the trail.

Kayaking Adventure at Uzi Island

After your forest exploration, it's time to get on the water.

Head towards Uzi Island and enjoy a kayaking adventure through Zanzibar's coastal environment. Paddling gives you a peaceful but active way to explore the surroundings while enjoying the tropical scenery.

Choose a 3-hour or 5-hour kayaking experience, depending on how much time you want to spend on the water.

Upgrade to a Transparent Kayak

Want an even more unique experience?

Choose the transparent kayak option and enjoy a clearer view of the water beneath your kayak as you paddle. It's an especially memorable choice for travelers who enjoy photography and want to experience Zanzibar's marine environment from a different perspective.

Why Choose This Zanzibar Adventure?

Two Experiences in One

Instead of choosing between a wildlife excursion and a water activity, this experience lets you enjoy both — Jozani Forest and Uzi Island kayaking.

See Zanzibar Beyond the Beaches

Zanzibar is famous for its beaches, but its forests, islands and waterways offer another side of the destination. This tour lets you experience that natural diversity.

Make It More Special With a Transparent Kayak

The transparent kayak option adds an extra dimension to the experience and makes the journey particularly appealing to photographers and travelers looking for something different.

Flexible Package Options

Choose the experience that matches your schedule and interests, from a 3-hour standard kayak to a 5-hour transparent kayaking adventure with lunch.
