Day-by-Day Itinerary – 6 Days of Island Luxury
Luxury Day 1
Arrival – Stone Town
Private transfer from Zanzibar Airport to your boutique hotel in Stone Town. Afternoon guided walking tour: House of Wonders, Old Fort, Freddie Mercury Museum, and the colourful Zanzibar doors. Evening at leisure – we recommend dinner at a rooftop restaurant overlooking the Indian Ocean. Insider tip: try the freshly grilled seafood at Forodhani night market (optional, not included).
Luxury Day 2
Transfer to Nungwi – Beach & Dhow Sunset
After breakfast, drive to Nungwi (approx 1 hour). Check into a luxury beach resort. Afternoon free to swim or explore the dhow‑building village – Nungwi is one of the last places where traditional wooden dhows are still made by hand. Late afternoon private sunset dhow cruise with sparkling wine and snacks. Dinner at the resort.
Luxury Day 3
Fly to Pemba – Fundu Lagoon
Morning transfer to Zanzibar Airport for a short flight to Pemba (approx 30 minutes). Upon arrival, a private boat takes you to Fundu Lagoon – an exclusive eco‑resort nestled on a private bay. The journey through mangrove creeks and open water sets the tone for adventure. After settling in, enjoy lunch and an afternoon swim or kayaking. Overnight at Fundu Lagoon.
Luxury Day 4
Misali Island Snorkelling & Pemba Flying Foxes
After breakfast, take a short boat ride to Misali Island Marine Reserve. Snorkel among untouched coral gardens, swim with green turtles, and relax on deserted sandbanks. Misali is a true gem – the reefs drop off into deep channels attracting large schools of barracuda and snapper. Picnic lunch on the island. In the late afternoon, visit the Pemba flying fox colony (Kangani village) – watch as hundreds of giant bats take flight at dusk. Dinner back at Fundu Lagoon.
Luxury Day 5
Pemba Relaxation & Return to Zanzibar
Morning at leisure – enjoy a spa treatment (extra cost), guided forest walk, or simply lounge on the beach. Fundu Lagoon also offers diving (PADI centre) and mangrove kayaking. After lunch, boat transfer to Pemba Airport, flight back to Zanzibar. Overnight at a Nungwi beach resort (or Stone Town if you prefer).
Luxury Day 6
Departure
Last morning at the beach. Transfer to Zanzibar Airport for your international flight home or onward to a mainland safari. Optional extension: add a night in Stone Town for more cultural exploration.
