Sea Fishing Escape in Zanzibar
– $200 for 2 people
Looking for a fun and unforgettable Indian Ocean adventure? At The View of Zanzibar, we offer a special package with 1 night in our ocean-view room, a local sea fishing trip, and breakfast — all for $200 (based on 2 people sharing 1 room).
Arrive the day before and settle into our beautiful apartment with an amazing ocean view and access to our kitchen. Spend the day enjoying Pingwe Beach — swim, snorkel, stroll, or simply relax opposite the famous The Rock Restaurant.
The next morning at 06:00, one of our local captains will collect you for your fishing trip. The experience includes 2 fishing rods and all the gear you need.
For many couples, this works out perfectly — one heads off for 3–4 hours of fishing adventure, while the other enjoys a peaceful morning back at the apartment. And for those who love a little excitement, joining the trip is always an option too. There is room for kids off course
Before departure, we provide coffee and a light breakfast. Out at sea, the captain uses a trolling technique, with 2–3 lines pulled behind the boat as you head 2–3 km beyond the reef. Along the way, you may spot flying fish, seabirds, dolphins, and tuna.
Then comes the real thrill. When the lines bend, you could be reeling in a 10–20 kg Dorado, Wahoo, Sailfish, Tuna, or Barracuda. You fight the fish yourself, with the captain there to help when needed.
Bring your catch back to The View of Zanzibar, where Chef Ofonime and her team will prepare a fresh lunch you will never forget. And if nothing bites that day, that is all part of real fishing — you will still enjoy our delicious breakfast.
