Authenticity Born in Nungwi

Located near the iconic Nungwi Aquarium and the historic Dhow Building Factories, Sea Star Fish is part of the very fabric of this village. For five centuries, Nungwi has been the sanctuary of the Indian Ocean's most famous local boats.

"Our aim is to create sustainable tours that honor Zanzibar's history while protecting the environment for the generations to come."

We don't just offer tours; we offer a gateway to the local soul. From the rhythmic sound of hammers on wood at the dhow yards to the silent beauty of the coral reefs, our experiences are designed to respect the environment and empower our local community.
