Traditional Swahili boats, known as ngalawa in Swahili, are timber outrigger canoes with a sail. They provide a one-of-a-kind opportunity to sail across the Indian Ocean. You will glide across turquoise blue waters, propelled by the wind, towards the reef located off the coast of Jambiani Village. Here you will find many suitable snorkelling spots to discover the tropical marine life. If your after a more relaxed trip and don't wish to snorkel, a few hours spent floating across pristine waters on a ngalawa is a worthwhile and unique experience where you can simply enjoy the ride and soak up the scene.
