About this experience
We offers travelers a budget-friendly and reliable way to reach any hotel on the island. Unlike private transfers, your shared service allows guests to save money while traveling comfortably in air-conditioned vehicles, all handled by local, experienced drivers who know the island well. It’s ideal for solo travelers, couples, and families looking for a smooth and safe transfer without paying premium prices. Travelers also enjoy meeting other visitors, creating a friendly and social atmosphere during the ride.
We believe that your holiday begins the moment you step off the plane. Your experienced, multilingual drivers and staff will warmly welcome you at the airport’s arrival area, assist you with your luggage, and guide you to your comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. From there, sit back, relax, and take in the beauty of Zanzibar — its tropical palm-lined roads, traditional villages, and glimpses of the turquoise Indian Ocean along the way.
