Mangapwani Coral Caves and the Slave Chamber are two historical attractions that can be found in Mangapwani Village, which you should visit first thing in the morning. You will get the chance to educate yourself on the history of the island if you visit the historical sites that have been maintained on it. At Mangapwani, you will spend at least two hours before heading north to the Nungwi beaches to see the Baraka Turtle Aquarium or the Mnarani Natural Sanctuary. While there, you will learn about efforts being made to conserve endangered sea turtles and then have the opportunity to swim with them.
Following your swim with the turtles, you will be driven to one of Nungwi’s local eateries for a traditional Swahili meal. After lunch, you will be driven to the beach to relax while you wait to board a traditional local dhow for a sunset cruise, which normally begins at 16 hours local time. On this lovely traditional sharing dhow, it’s all about the environment and getting to know other tourists and locals, so bring your best smile! A local music group will play music for you the whole time you are sailing.
This lengthy day’s trip will come to an end when you disembark the boat shortly after the sun has set, and you will then be taken back to your accommodation.
