Sunset cruise Mafia Island

A sunset cruise is a beautiful option for couples, families and friends to sit back and relax with a drink in hand and not a care in the world. Those who have been to Africa before, will know that there is nothing better than an African sunset, but what if we said that a Mafian sunset is even better?

After a busy day of adventuring or a lazy day of snoozing, you jump on board your private, traditional dhow for a first class view of a Mafian sunset. Your traditional Swahili dhow will be waiting on the shore ready to depart at 17:30 hrs with a waiter onboard to serve you cold drinks which can be chosen earlier in the day at the bar. The Captain will slowly motor out into the channel, orient the dhow and hoist the sail up. As the sail catches the warm, gusts of wind, you will begin your journey, gently rocking as the trade winds lead you through Mafia’s aquamarine waters. Once the Captain has found an idyllic spot to settle, he will lower the sail and drop the anchor. At this point you are encouraged too refresh your drink, raise a glass and cheers to another beautiful moment. The sky will fill with striking hues of red, pink, orange and yellow before all too soon, the sun will gently slip below the horizon, prompting you to return.
