Girls' trips

Sunset cruises, spa days, snorkeling and Kendwa beach clubs — the perfect blend of relaxation and a proper girls' night out.

Nungwi

Buzzing beach bars, sunset cocktails and live music, plus dhow trips and diving on your doorstep — the all-rounder for a crew.

Why Blue Green

Why crews book their Zanzibar trip with us

Cheaper as a group

Per-person prices fall as your crew grows, so a group of eight pays far less each than a couple — more budget for the fun stuff.

One organiser, zero stress

Herding a group is hard — so one WhatsApp contact handles every booking, pickup and plan, and keeps the whole crew in the loop.

Just your crew

Private boats and vehicles mean it's only your group — play your music, set your pace, start as late as you like.

Local hook-ups

Born-and-raised guides who know the best beach bars, the freshest seafood and where the good nights actually are.

Made for the memories

The most photogenic spots, timed for the best light — you'll go home with a camera roll worth the group chat spam.

5-star & safe

Over 1,000 travelers guided with a 5-star rating and licensed, reliable transfers — a good time you can actually trust.

Transparent pricing

How much is a Zanzibar friends' trip?

The best group tours start from as little as $25 per person, and every rate is per person and drops as your crew grows — split between friends, Zanzibar is superb value.

Amazing tour – highly recommended! The tour was excellent. Our guide, Nassor, picked us up directly at the ferry terminal and stayed with us from start to finish. He shared many interesting stories and demonstrated great knowledge throughout the entire tour. We first took a boat to Prison Island (the turtle island), then visited the sandbank, where a wonderful seafood lunch was prepared for us. After that, we returned to the city for the historical tour. The team also helped us with purchasing the ferry tickets, which was extremely helpful and made everything much easier. I highly recommend this tour!

A Dream Realized In Zanzibar My Family's Unforgettable Week in Zanzibar with Blue Green Zanzibar Tour and Safari Like many, my first glimpse of Zanzibar was through the captivating videos on TikTok. The turquoise waters, pristine beaches, and vibrant culture sparked a dream within me, a dream I finally realized this past November with my family. As an Irish native, planning a trip to such a distant and exotic locale felt daunting, especially when initial attempts to connect with various tourist companies proved fruitless. Misinformation was rampant, and responses were slow or nonexistent, leaving me feeling frustrated and uncertain. That's when I stumbled upon Blue Green Zanzibar Tour and Safari. From the moment I reached out, I experienced a level of responsiveness and care that was truly exceptional. Wadi, our contact at Blue Green Zanzibar Tour and Safari, immediately understood my vision for a week long family adventure in Zanzibar. He meticulously crafted a personalized itinerary, taking into account our interests and preferences. From the moment we touched down at the airport, Blue Green Zanzibar Tour and Safari took care of everything. A friendly driver greeted us and transported us to our hotel, setting the tone for a week of seamless travel. Each day, our dedicated driver arrived promptly, ready to whisk us away to new and exciting experiences. We explored spice plantations, swam with dolphins, wandered through the historic streets of Stone Town, and relaxed on the beaches. all without a single worry or logistical hiccup. What truly set Blue Green Zanzibar Tour and Safari apart was their commitment to comfort, relaxation, and attention to detail. Every aspect of our trip was carefully considered, ensuring a stress-free and enjoyable experience for the entire family. There were no hidden fees, no unexpected surprises, and no high-pressure sales tactics. Just genuine hospitality and a desire to make our vacation truly special. I wholeheartedly recommend Blue Green Zanzibar Tour and Safari to anyone planning a trip to this enchanting island. While there are many travel companies to choose from, Blue Green Zanzibar Tour and Safari stands out for its transparency, integrity, and personalized service. With Wadi at the helm, you can rest assured that your trip will be meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. He is an amazing person who organized my trip and everything go perfect, smoothly. Thanks to Wadi, my family and I created memories that will last a lifetime. If you want to experience the magic of Zanzibar without the stress of planning, look no further than Blue Green Zanzibar Tour and Safari. You won't be disappointed!

Ein Erlebnis Die Tour hat uns sehr gut gefallen, besonders die Besichtigung der Gewürzfarm. Die deutschsprachige Guide war klasse. Es war ein echtes Erlebnis, auch für meine Frau, die nur schlecht Englisch versteht. Das Mittagessen und der Nachtisch mit frischen Früchten war sehr schmackhaft. Die deutschsprachige Tour durch Stone Town war ebenfalls gut, aber insgesamt nicht so toll wie die Spice Farm.

Outstanding experience with Blue Green Safari Zanzibar! We had an amazing experience with Blue Green Safari. From start to finish, the team was highly professional, punctual, and incredibly accommodating. We were traveling with two toddlers, and they went out of their way to make everything smooth and comfortable for us — adjusting plans when needed and always being patient and kind. What really stood out was their genuine care and flexibility. They didn’t just treat us like clients; they truly cared about our experience. They even helped us arrange donations for a local school and village, which meant a lot to us and made the trip feel even more meaningful. If you’re planning any tours or excursions in Zanzibar, I can’t recommend Blue Green Safari enough. They’re reliable, thoughtful, and go above and beyond to ensure you have a memorable and stress-free experience.

Blue and Green Zanzibar - Tours and Safari Thank you very much for the incredible experience! Your service was truly amazing, and we were so happy during our entire stay. Every driver and guide we met was professional, friendly, and went above and beyond to make our trip special. A big thank you to our driver Hamdun, he was such a great companion throughout our travels. Always in a good mood, playing great music, helpful, and smiling. He really made the journey even more enjoyable. A special mention also goes to Nasser, our guide for the Blue Safari. Nasser was beyond amazing! Such a great guy, friendly, fun, super helpful, and just a joy to be around. He made the whole day unforgettable. The guides at Nakupenda also took excellent care of us and prepared a fantastic lunch. Everything was perfectly arranged. It was an unforgettable trip, thanks to you and the entire team. We’ll truly miss Zanzibar. Thank you again!

Friends' trip FAQs

Zanzibar friends' trips: frequently asked questions

Is Zanzibar good for a girls' trip or boys' trip?

Very. Zanzibar pairs adventure by day — Safari Blue, snorkeling, quad biking, watersports — with a relaxed beach-bar nightlife by night, especially around Kendwa and Nungwi. It's social, scenic and superb value split between friends, which makes it a favourite for girls' trips, boys' trips and big group getaways.

Which area is best for a friends' trip and nightlife?

Base yourselves on the north coast. Kendwa is the party heart, with beach clubs and full-moon parties and calm, swim-anytime water; Nungwi has buzzing beach bars, sunset spots and dhow trips on your doorstep. Paje on the south-east suits the watersports and kite-surf crowd with a laid-back late-night scene.

What are the best tours for a group of friends?

Safari Blue is the flagship crew day (sailing, snorkeling, sandbank and seafood BBQ). Add a sunset dhow cruise for sundowners, a dolphin swim, quad biking, kite surfing at Paje, or a photogenic cave swim. All are private to your group and easy to combine across a few days.

Is Zanzibar safe for a girls' trip or a night out?

Zanzibar is generally very safe and welcoming, with low crime in tourist areas. Take the usual sensible precautions — book activities through a licensed operator, use arranged transfers to and from bars at night, and avoid walking alone late. We handle your transport so your group always gets home together.

How big can the group be, and do we get a discount?

Any size — from four friends to a party of thirty. Every tour is priced per person and the rate drops as your crew grows, so bigger groups pay less each. For large groups and bachelor or bachelorette packages, message us with your numbers for a tailored quote.

Can you organise a bachelorette, bachelor or birthday trip?

Yes — it's one of our favourite things to plan. Think private boats, sundowner cruises, a seafood feast and special touches for the guest of honour. Tell us the occasion, the group and any surprises, and we'll build the whole thing around it.

Get the crew to Zanzibar
