Tide dependent

Mangrove forests line significant parts of Zanzibar's coastline and play a real role in coastal protection and marine nursery habitat. Kayaking through the channels offers a quieter, closer view than a boat trip, with a chance to see mudskippers, crabs and birdlife typically missed from a larger vessel.
