A Zanzibar helicopter tour shows you the island’s reef colour and shoreline from above in about 30 minutes in the air. Depending on the route and weather you may see the Zanzibar reef coast, Mnemba Island, the Nungwi tip or Stone Town.
The Zanzibar hub has three versions of the same shared scenic helicopter flight, each about 30 minutes in the air and about 90 minutes in total. The difference is where you’re picked up: the Kiwengwa zone, the north and Stone Town, or the south. A driver collects you, takes you to the helicopter base at Kiwengwa and brings you back after the flight.
