Experience the best of Zanzibar — from the colorful underwater world to the white sandy shores — with Crystal Tours Kenya’s Reef & Beach Tour. This 3-hour experience combines an incredible semi-submarine reef cruise with a relaxing beach picnic on a pristine sandbank just off Stone Town.
It’s the perfect mix of adventure, discovery, and pure island serenity.
🌊 Start Your Day at Sea
Your journey begins with a scenic 30-minute cruise from Stone Town toward Zanzibar’s vibrant coral reef. From the open upper deck, soak in sweeping views of the turquoise Indian Ocean while your knowledgeable guide shares fascinating facts about Zanzibar’s history, neighboring islands, and marine ecosystem.
Once the submarine approaches the reef, head below deck — where the real magic begins. Peer through large underwater windows to see a kaleidoscope of marine life — colorful corals, playful fish, and the rhythmic dance of the ocean. This unique underwater viewing lets you explore without getting wet!
🏝️ Picnic on a Private Sandbank
After your reef exploration, our speedboat will whisk you away to a secluded white-sand sandbank, a true paradise surrounded by endless blue water. Here, our hospitality team will welcome you to a cozy picnic setup complete with shade, refreshments, and soft beach towels.
Spend time swimming, sunbathing, or simply relaxing under the sun — a moment of calm after your marine adventure.
