Overview
The Horse Riding, Swimming with Turtles & Nungwi or Kendwa Beach Tour brings together three relaxed coastal experiences into one well-paced day along Zanzibar’s northern tip. You’ll begin with a guided horseback ride on calm, well-trained horses, following the shoreline where the sand meets the tide. It’s a peaceful, scenic way to see the coast — suitable for complete beginners, with a handler beside you the whole way.
Next you visit a natural tidal lagoon near Nungwi, home to green sea turtles that glide through the shallow, clear water. Wade in, hand-feed them fresh seagrass, and swim gently alongside these calm, curious creatures — a hands-on encounter that delights children and adults alike.
The day winds down where Zanzibar shines brightest: on Nungwi or Kendwa beach. You’ll relax at one of these two neighbouring north-coast beaches — both known for their soft pale sand, all-day swimmable water, and postcard turquoise views. With time to eat, swim, and soak it in, this combo pairs gentle adventure with wildlife and beach in one hassle-free outing — all fees, transfers, and gear arranged so you can simply enjoy it.
