So, it's finally that point in your life when you've begun searching for your honeymoon destination to spend some time together once you tie the knot. With stunning beaches and a whole load of experiences to offer Zanzibar is an amazing place to visit with your other half.
If you love everything the sea has to offer, Zanzibar offers a vast area of clear blue water and reefs to be explored. So, grab your diving gear and set off on a diving excursion together for an experience like no other. You can head to the dive site on a ferry along with experienced guides and dive right in to discover what the waters of Zanzibar have to offer. Keep an eye out for green turtles, bottlenose dolphins, white-tip reef sharks and even crocodile fish.
Did you know that Zanzibar is really an archipelago with a collection of islands? With many unspoiled sandy beaches and exotic nature to explore on each island, this archipelago certainly offers couples a lovely treat when it comes to island hopping. Many Zanzibar honeymoon packages actually include island excursions as well. You can start by exploring the main island which is known as Unguja and then proceed to Pemba, Mafia, Chumbe, Mnemba and Thanda islands rated as the top 6 to visit on CNN travel.
A sunset cruise is the most cliché romantic thing to do in Zanzibar when you stay at resorts like The Residence Zanzibar, but it is also not to be missed! Inquire with your local hotel and if they offer sunset cruises, take the opportunity to witness something magical during your stay here. Set off on a traditional boat or a luxury yacht during the late afternoon. Enjoy some canapes while sipping on a glass of champagne. Towards evening, you'll see the changes in the colours of the sky as the ball of fire seems to be sinking into the ocean. It's the perfect backdrop to set the romantic mood for the rest of the night.
What could be better than unwinding with your significant other at a spa in Zanzibar? The resorts on the island have a variety of options to offer you for your couple's massage. You can either opt for a spa by the beach and relish the scent of the ocean while enjoying each other's company. You could also opt for an outdoor garden spa in the warm atmosphere. If indoors is what you prefer, this is available too at most resorts. You can take your pick for massage therapy from the spa menu your resort has to offer.
Game fishing is one of the activities you can enjoy if that's what you want to do together in Zanzibar. Find out from your local resort or travel agent on how to go about things and book a fishing trip across the ocean. You can also prepare a meal with the catch of the day.
