SUP tour in the mangroves

The stand up paddle boarding tour in Zanzibar is the perfect outdoor activity to discover one of the most beautiful environments in Zanzibar. During the tour the guide will explain to you the keystone ecosystems in the mangroves and how a large number of local people are depending on this delicate system. One of these locals will be your tour guide as well. These mangroves have been their backyard since they were born so who can show them better? Nobody in our opinion, they will provide the information in English and are trained to keep you happy and safe.

Stand up paddling is considered an easy watersport. However if standing up is too difficult or you don’t feel like standing up just go on your knees and enjoy your surroundings. If there is strong wind it can be more challenging. It’s easier on your knees and if you need help just call the guide.

What our Clients say

5/5

Unique Experience

Unique experience, a different piece of Zanzibar than you will find elsewhere. Beautiful nature, relaxing, nice guides, fun with the group. Nice change between mindful supping - if you want - and fun on the board. The guides can do fun tricks on the board and so did we. Enjoyed fresh fruit and water at the end. If you have the chance to go at sunset, you have an extra plus because at this location, unlike the other places on the east coast, you can see the sun sink into the sea! ​

Super Mario!

We arranged the activity through our hotel and the transportation and payment went smoothly. The SUP tour with Super Mario, our guide, was phenomenal. He give us the basic instructions to use the board and even helped a younger member of the group when she was tired. He also gave us a clear and informative explanation about the mangrove ecosystem and its connection to the town of Michamvi. The environment was simply gorgeous. Would definitely recommend!

Labyrinth of channels

Absolutely magical SUP tour through the mangroves near Michamvi. We were being picked up at our hotel and brought to Michamvi. From there it was a short boat trip to the mangrove office where we got our SUP boards. Our tour guide Mario gave our group of 5 a quick Intro on how to SUP and off we went. He led us through a labyrinth of channels and we dived into that green serenity of mangrove trees, totally calm, only us and the forest animals. At the end of the tour the sun started to set and the forest and water changed into magnificent and stunning colors. A trip absolutely worth taking! I can only recommend this tour. ​​
