★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 25 reviews · from $27Best value

Paddle a transparent kayak along Nungwi’s Zanzibar coast, spotting coral and fish through the hull in a 30-minute session.

“This is a scam, I never visited the activity. The owner of this activity asked me weird questions if i am alone, and who i am with together it was very weird. And then he said that he took a look at my work website and talk about my nude pictures. I did not ask him anything about doing this. He went online and look at my pictures and talk to me about this and ask me if we can chat together. Really unprofessional. All I wanted was just to book a activity. I said I am not doing the activity with him because I dont feel comfortable with him…”

11.THE GREEN TOUR: Jozani Forest & Mangrove Kayaking Experience

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 6 reviews · 8 hours · from $99

Kayak Zanzibar mangroves from Uzi Island, visit a local village, then walk Jozani Forest for red colobus monkeys.

“The activity was great, we first went kayaking in the mangroves which was great. I hear that it’s not a big tourist attraction so definitely worth doing for something different. Raul, the guide, was so good at talking through the mangroves and the wildlife and the area. He then took us to his village, I highly recommend taking him up on this offer as it is a true look into Zanzi life. After this we went to Jozani forest where Mohammad took over the tour, he was very knowledgeable about the forest and the monkeys. I am very glad we booked this one, it didn’t have a lot of reviews…”
