What to do in Zanzibar: from slow beach days to active ocean fun
Zanzibar is ideal if you want to mix tranquil beach time with active experiences. You can enjoy soft sand and warm water, then switch to kitesurfing, snorkelling or paddle boarding, all in the same day.
Paje is a favourite for kitesurfing and lessons for beginners. Jambiani offers snorkelling and long walks during low tide. Kendwa and Nungwi are famous for paddle boarding, diving and boat trips. You can go sea fishing, join dolphin-watching cruises and add in day trips to national parks, spice plantations or historic Stone Town.
In the evenings, unforgettable sunsets, fresh seafood, tropical fruits and beach bars create the perfect “Hakuna Matata” atmosphere to end your day.
Suggested one-day itinerary in Zanzibar
If you only have one full day on the island, you can still make it a rich mix of beach time, ocean activities and local flavours.
Start the morning with a walk along the beach and a swim in the ocean. Then choose one activity: kitesurfing at Paje, snorkelling in Jambiani or paddle boarding around the Kendwa–Nungwi area. After lunch, relax by the hotel pool or in a hammock between palm trees.
Towards sunset, join a short boat trip to look for dolphins or book a beach-front dinner with fresh fish and seafood while you watch the sky change colours over the Indian Ocean.
Suggested two-day itinerary in Zanzibar
With two days you can enjoy both the beaches and the island’s nature. Split your time between the ocean, national parks and the spice heritage of Zanzibar.
Day one can focus on the ocean: pick Paje, Kendwa or Nungwi for kitesurfing, snorkelling, diving or a boat tour to see dolphins. Finish the day by the pool or at a beach bar near your hotel.
Day two can be dedicated to exploring. Visit Jozani Forest or Zala National Park to see monkeys, mangroves and lush vegetation. Add a visit to spice plantations to learn how local spices are grown and processed, and round off the day with a stroll through Stone Town’s narrow streets and historic buildings.
In the evening, return to your beach hotel just in time for another sunset over the Indian Ocean and a relaxed dinner to close your mini-holiday.

Where to stay: hotels in Zanzibar
Zanzibar offers hotels across all categories, with the most expensive ones clustered in the northern part of the island. In most hotels breakfast is the standard meal plan, while All Inclusive is available in only a handful of 5-star properties. Well-known European hotel chains are noticeably more expensive than local brands, and the lowest-price option is usually guesthouses located a bit further from the first beach line. It is best to choose accommodation near a specific beach, as each area has its own tide times, sea entry, sand quality and level of infrastructure.
3-star hotels: smart budget choice
Booking a tour to Zanzibar with accommodation in a 3-star hotel is popular among young and active travellers. The key is to pick the area that matches your interests: some guests focus on diving, others dream of visiting monkey parks or islands with giant tortoises. All 3-star hotels generally include breakfast and Wi-Fi (many also have a restaurant and bar), and rooms tend to be eco-friendly and decorated in African style.
