Ferries to and from Zanzibar

Zanzibar is a historic Island off Tanzania’s coast, known for its trading past, spice farms, and lively Stone Town. It sits close to the mainland, so ferry travel from Dar es Salaam is a popular and busy route, used by both locals and visitors. The crossing connects city life with relaxed beaches and smaller nearby islands. Because of the short distance, ferries run often, and many people choose this option instead of flying. From Zanzibar, you can continue by boat to nearby spots or stay and explore the Island’s markets, waterfront, and coastal villages.
