Description

Escape the crowds and reconnect with nature on a stand-up paddleboarding tour in Zanzibar. Explore the serene mangrove bay near Shashamane Lodge in Muungoni.
Escape the crowds and reconnect with nature through a calming and rejuvenating SUP (Stand-Up Paddleboarding) experience in one of Zanzibar’s most tranquil and untouched natural environments.

Explore the serene mangrove bay near Shashamane Lodge in Muungoni, just a 20-minute drive from Paje on the southeast coast of the island.

This 2-hour adventure is more than just a paddle – it’s a chance to slow down, breathe deeply, and find harmony with the natural world around you. Whether you’re a seasoned paddler or trying stand-up paddleboarding for the first time, the calm and protected bay is the perfect place to enjoy the water in a safe and peaceful setting.

Glide effortlessly through still waters shaded by lush mangrove trees, with nothing but the sounds of birdsong, water lapping, and the occasional splash of fish beneath your board.

If you prefer, you’re also welcome to explore the area by kayak, which is available as an alternative. Or simply take a swim and float in the clear, refreshing water. The guides are on hand to assist you, offering safety tips or gentle guidance if you need it – but the experience is designed to be free-flowing and personal, allowing you to move at your own pace.

After your paddle, take time to relax and recharge with a small treat from nature. Enjoy a complimentary selection of fresh tropical fruits and refreshing coconut water, served under the shade of the makuti roof or in the garden by the water’s edge. A simple, nourishing moment to round off your experience, and a chance to soak up the peaceful energy of this special place.
