When you are on the island and you want to move around independently the best option is to rent a car or a scooter. We, in Dau tours & Safaris, always make sure that the vehicles we offer are in good condition and are delivered to the location chosen by our customers. Our company also provides full insurance to ensure your safety in case of any emergency. We will also share with you all the tips and tricks to make sure that you have the best experience on the roads of Zanzibar.

Note that in order to drive here you will need your driving license and local permit [we will provide it but you need to make the booking at least one day in advance].

Complete your holiday by doing your dive here in Zanzibar. On the island we have many diving sites where you can see a variety of marine nature and unbelievable creatures while being underwater. We are kindly asking you not to hesitate to ask us when you need any recommendation about choosing the best site and trusted diving centre.

We will be picking you up early in the morning from the hotel and driving to Kizimkazi village for an amazing adventure - swimming with incredible mammals - Dolphins - closely related to whales. Kizimkazi is a place where many of the species, like Bottlenose [most common] and Indo- pacific humpback, can be seen. The tour is done mostly in the morning, because the dolphins come on the surface to play and socialize. Later, dolphins dive deep down to avoid the heat of the sun, and use that time to feed their babies and rest.

Finding the dolphins may take some time so you will have to be patient. We will be in their natural environment and not in an aquarium but we have good chances of seeing them. Dolphins are very intelligent creatures - they can even alternate when part of their brain is asleep so they can rest while remaining conscious. Some days, the dolphins are shyer and hard to spot, in those cases you would still be enjoying an amazing boat trip in the rising sun.

It is a short morning trip that usually starts at 5:30am and lasts till 9:30am. But note that the time may vary depending on your location.

Our experienced captains will always take you to the right fishing zone where you can best enjoy your time. On the island there is big chance to catch different species of fish such as Dorado, Kingfish, Tuna fish, sailfish, Bluefin trivially etc.

Fishing is a great experience which requires a lot of patience and time. It also helps to relieve stress. By taking you to the game fishing adventure we hope to complete your fishing dream while you are on the Paradise Island.

It is a half day trip. Normally, we are leaving the hotel very early in the morning, around 4:00am, but it can vary depending on the location of your hotel. The tour usually ends by 1:00pm or 1:30pm. Fruit, snacks and water are included.
