3 hours Royal Beach Tour
This tour combines underwater exploration and beach relaxation in Zanzibar. It begins with the Classic Reef Tour itinerary, followed by a beach escapade on a nearby sandbank. Guests are transferred by a private tender boat for a Zanzibar-style brunch, sunbathing, and swimming. The 3-hour tour includes a welcome drink, water, a private seat on the semi-submarine, picnic brunch on a sandbank, and memory pictures of the experience.
Submarine tours for VIPs and individuals are available
Our submarines are also available for individual private and tailor-made tours. Families, honeymooners and VIP incentive groups are all welcome to request their favorite trip. All our submarine tours are based in the Indian Ocean and are professionally led and meticulously organized. Weather and tide conditions can delay or even cancel a trip, but an effort will always be made to keep to the schedule.
2 hours Sunset Submarine Tour
The Sunset cruise offers a royal submarine ocean experience in Zanzibar beginning in the evening. Tourists enjoy a harbor submarine cruise and a stunning sunset in the semi-submarine’s cabin. As marine life transitions to night, the vessel’s LED lights illuminate the sea bottom for an unforgettable nighttime trip. The 2-hour tour includes drinking water, a private seat, a sunset cocktail, snacks and memory photos of a lifetime.
Cruise to the coral reef
Your cruise to the coral reef will take about 30 minutes. We recommend you remain on the upper deck at the beginning, where your guide will provide information about Zanzibar’s history, nearby islands, and Stone Town. You are free to stay on the upper or lower deck during the tour. Once you approach the reef, your guide will advise you to move to the lower deck to explore the marine life through our large unbreakable windows, accompanied by fish/coral charts and the guide’s explanations.
On-board facilities
The lower deck is equipped with A/C, USB charging ports, large viewing windows, life jackets, and seats for 8 passengers. Please note that there are no toilets on board.
Memory pictures
Your guide and diver will take free memory pictures of you through the large windows from outside the submarine. However, passengers cannot swim, dive, or snorkel during the tour.
