Step back into the past and explore the ancient Kua Ruins on Juani Island. Once a vibrant trading city, Kua’s ancient mosques, coral-stone walls, and forgotten streets tell the story of a community that flourished centuries ago.
The tour begins with a scenic boat ride across the waters of Mafia Island, taking you to the shores of Juani Island. As you approach, the dense vegetation and quiet coastline set the stage for the mystery and beauty that lies ahead.
Arriving at the Kua Ruins, you’ll walk through the remains of a 10th-century city that once welcomed traders from across Africa, Arabia, and Asia. Coral-stone buildings, crumbling mosques, and moss-covered walls stand as reminders of a once-thriving civilization. As you walk among the ruins, your guide will share stories of trade, culture, and daily life centuries ago, bringing the ancient stones to life.
After having time to explore, you’ll return to your boat for the ride back to Mafia Island.
By combining the Ruins Tour with the Juani Island Lagoon Tour, you can make a fantastic full-day excursion to the beautiful Juani Island.
