Sea Walk Description

After boarding the boat, you’ll cruise out across Zanzibar’s calm blue waters toward the sea walk platform. Your tour begins with a briefing, where your guide introduces the equipment and explains how the underwater helmet works. You will also learn hand gestures in case you might get uncomfortable or would like to go back up to the surface.

Your guide will help you put on the helmet and descend gently down the ladder to the seabed. The feeling is unlike anything else! Walk across white sand while colorful reef fish swim around you, all with crystal-clear visibility. You’ll be able to see corals, marine plants, and schools of tropical fish at eye level, making this a perfect experience even for non-swimmers.

Throughout the walk, instructors remain close by, guiding you along the underwater path and helping capture photos as you explore. After resurfacing, relax on the platform and enjoy the ocean views before the boat brings you back to shore.

*Kindly note that children are permitted from age ten and above depending on their height and ability to carry the helmet. The minimum height is 127 cm.
