Where are we staying.
This trip is really a special one for both Wayne and I. We will be your personal tour guides.
Upon arrival we will meet our transfer to the lodge. This is a 1h15 drive from the airport. We are staying at a gem called Sunshine Marine Lodge: www.marinelodgezanzibar.com Please feel free to follow the link to check out this amazing spot.
The lodge has its own PADI dive center called Dive Point: www.divepointzanzibar.com

About us…
Wayne and I have visited this amazing Paradise a year ago. Diving is our passion and as many of you might know, my job. We had the most amazing dives in Zanzibar. The people are welcoming and friendly, and the weather is just amazing. We have been to many places and just love the whole package. Zanzibar should not be experienced in a 7-star manner, the Island life is what you need to explore here, from fresh seafood and cold beers at the local Shebeen (Bar or Pub) to a rich history of slavery and trade.
Very safe holiday destination and not to far to travel. Only 5h45min from Dubai.
There are no hidden costs, what you see is what you get.
So yes, this is a personalized and personally designed and involved trip and not a drop off and go holiday.
Let the Adventure Begin…
