Bawe Island & Sandbank

Bawe Island, just 45 min off the coast, is perfect for a reef snorkelling experience near Stone Town. 

Since the government recognised the island as private, it is usually one of the quietest places to spend some time underwater, admiring the impressive aquatic life and coloured corals. Thereafter, you can hop back on-board setting sail for a sand bank where brilliant birdlife abounds. A seemingly uninhabited and quiet bank in the ocean suddenly comes to life with millions of birds flying overhead while ghost crabs scurry across the golden sands.
