The Safari Blue Full-Day Tour is a popular sea excursion in Zanzibar that takes place in the beautiful Menai Bay Conservation Area. The tour usually begins in the morning with a transfer to Fumba village, where visitors board a traditional wooden dhow boat. While sailing through the clear turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, guests can enjoy the peaceful scenery and may even spot dolphins along the way.

One of the highlights of the tour is a stop at a natural sandbank that appears during low tide. Visitors can relax on the white sand, swim in the clear water, and enjoy fresh tropical fruits such as mango, pineapple, and coconut. The tour also includes snorkeling in coral reef areas where visitors can see colorful fish and explore the rich marine life of Menai Bay.

Later, the dhow sails to Kwale Island, where guests enjoy a delicious seafood barbecue lunch with fish, lobster, prawns, rice, and local sauces. After lunch, visitors may swim in a nearby mangrove lagoon before sailing back to Fumba in the afternoon. The tour lasts about 6–8 hours and offers a perfect mix of sailing, snorkeling, relaxation, and local cuisine.
