A sunset dhow cruise is one of the simplest and most popular short experiences on the island: an hour or two sailing on a traditional wooden dhow as the sun sets over the Indian Ocean, usually with soft drinks or a welcome drink included. It requires no swimming ability and suits almost any traveller, which is part of why it is offered from nearly every coastal area of the island.
