Step by Step
Discover the most comfortable way to travel between the mainland coast of Tanzania and the dreamy beaches of Zanzibar with our high-speed ferry. You'll board a modern, spacious vessel that guarantees stability and safety, with large windows from which to gaze out over the Indian Ocean.
With multiple daily departures - 7am, 9am, 12.30pm and 3.45pm - you have the flexibility to plan your trip at your own pace, whether it's a day trip or a longer stay on the island. Whether you choose Economy Class for efficient travel or Business Class for more space and comfort, you'll enjoy professional service in English.
To facilitate your experience, we organise private pick-up from your hotel or Dar es Salaam airport, transferring you directly to the ferry terminal. On your return, the same pick-up arrangements apply in Zanzibar on request. This takes the stress out of transfers and allows you to concentrate on your trip.
The ferry ride takes between 2 and 2.5 hours, during which time you can relax, read or admire the seascape. Upon arrival at the Zanzibar Ferry Terminal (Sokoine Dr), you can continue your island adventure by booking a local transfer or exploring on your own.
Enjoy a safe, smooth and hassle-free crossing connecting two of Tanzania's must-see destinations.
