The highlight definitely was the rock area at the end of the tour where we saw some of the most amazing rock formations on the ocean and kayaked through them. It was both an adventurous and calming activity. Thank you Amore, we can’t wait to do it again.”

7.3-hour quad bike tours in Nungwi and Kendwa along coastal paths and through villages

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 7 reviews · from $58

Ride a quad through Zanzibar villages, farms, beaches, and coastal paths, with fruit stops, hotel transfers, and mixed drone-photo reports.

“Nice quad ride. The quads are well maintained. Visit to a stunning beach with a beautiful sandbar at low tide, followed by a traditional village, with the villagers. Just that it's still a bit touristy, with the kids having to buy stuff and snatching the treats as soon as they're out. I'm not against giving and sharing in return for their welcome, but I think it distorts their authenticity. But I loved seeing all these kids with their beautiful smiles. Lots of poverty. Our guide Alex speaks French really well, he was adorable, attentive, and took us some great family photos. We'll keep a nice memory of this outing. Thanks…”
