Venture145193555162024-11-29Unforgettable experience. Wonderful crew. Amazing value for money. 3 friends and I charted the Dream Dhow last week on 22nd Nov and I wanted to thank you and your crew for the most wonderful day on board your beautiful boat. We had gorgeous weather and your boys looked after us so well. They were thoughtful, kind and really good fun. Mateus kept us all safe when snorkelling and gave us chaptati bread to entice the fish which worked a treat and we were surrounded by hundreds of beautiful tropical fish. Just an amazing experience. Our chef made us a delicious lunch and we thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the trip. Sailing back was unforgettable, the tranquility of the beautiful dhow sail billowing above us was so special. Mwana, our captain, took us to an exquisite spot for sunset where we saw, no lie, dozens and dozens of starfish. The team on board were patient and generous with their energy all day. Thanks again for the personal service Julia, for your great communication, for arranging transit and for providing an experience I will never forget. Highly, highly recommend.Verified
Jeanette2024-11-24A great day! We had an amazing day! We had a private boat and that was great for our little kid ( 2 years old). The food was really good and the staff very friendly.Verified
Andrew S2024-11-23Private Honeymoon Excursion ❤️ We did a full-day private rental for our Honeymoon and it was a fantastic day with Mattias, Samuel, and the captain! We got to snorkel, visit a sandbar, saw dolphins, had a fantastic lunch with fish, chicken, lobster and more! As a great touch we got to play music the whole time through their Bluetooth speaker. We loved being picked up and dropped off at the beach in front of our hotel :D The crew was fantastic, and the organization was fast through WhatsApp! They even got us a small cake for us on a last second minute request. 100% would recommend.Verified
zachd05112024-11-20Amazing full-day sail with snorkeling My wife and I, our dear friends and their 10-month-old daughter took a full-day sail with Dream Dhow and had an amazing time. The crew were professional and fun, the seafood lunch was amazing and the snorkeling was an unforgettable experience. After going in the water we took our time sailing back until the sunset while the crew served fruit. This is the closest we will ever come to being on Below Deck! (Minus the drama).Verified
Hampus B2024-11-13Great day on Mnemba I had an amazing day on the boat with my two kids. We saw a lot of dolphins, snorkling and had a delicious seafood lunch onboard. Highly recommend! Vera kids familj companyVerified
Agnes D2024-11-07Unforgettable Zanzibar Experience with Dream Dhow Dream Dhow made my Zanzibar experience unforgettable! Their team was professional, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to show us the beauty and culture of the island. From pristine beaches to vibrant markets, every part of the tour was perfectly organized and filled with local insights. Highly recommend Dream Dhow for an authentic, memorable Zanzibar journey!Verified
TEE2024-11-04Happyday, happybirthday!!! In Zanzibar, I chose the Dream Dhow Zanzibar Blue Safari. Private day snorkeling with dolphins sandbank on Mnemba Island. It was my granddaughter's birthday present (13). The dhow was decorated with balloons, the meal excellent (tuna and fish marinated in lime and grilled, grilled lobsters, vegetables, rice, fruits!!!) all prepared and cooked on the boat during the trip to the dolphins with two excellent captains! Even though, when we arrived near the dolphins, we (the customers) refused to get involved in the chaos of all the small motor boats that are relentlessly hunting the dolphins, which they surround while shouting to their customers: "jump jump" so that they swim three strokes with the dolphins who themselves dive to escape and all this in the stench of exhaust fumes from the engines, our captain respected safe distances and followed us in our choice (we are not the only ones to refuse the behavior of the very small boats that harass the dolphins. Unfortunately, in Zanzibar, it seems that there are no regulations yet. After a very good time snorkeling in complete safety with the owner and his wife, where we saw a lot of fish, our captains then took us to a magnificent beach so that my husband who was seasick could rest and to celebrate the birthday of my little girl who shared her magnificent and very good cake!!! We therefore highly recommend Dream Dhow Zanzibar for the quality and seriousness of their services and their human warmth! We had a wonderful day in an idyllic setting!!! Thanks to Yusuf, Julia and the two captains for all this human warmth!!!
