How to get there
Recommended Airports
Transfer included
Abeid Amani Karume International Airport
36 km away from your destination
Arrival by airplane
Please book your flight to arrive at Abeid Amani Karume International Airport (ZNZ) in Zanzibar. Your hassle-free return airport transfers are included, and a representative from Coconuts Kite will be there to pick you up. Zanzibar's international airport is well-connected, served by various European and Middle Eastern airlines, as well as charter flights. The journey from the airport, located near Stone Town on the West part of the island, to our base in Jambiani on the East coast takes approximately 1.5 hours by car.
Arrival by ferry / boat
Another convenient option to reach Zanzibar is by ferry from Dar es Salaam. We highly recommend using either Azam Marine or ZanFast Ferries for your journey, as these are considered the safest and most reliable choices. The ferry departs from Dar es Salaam port and arrives in Stone Town, Zanzibar. Dar es Salaam is a major hub served by most international airlines, making it a convenient arrival point, especially if you plan to visit mainland Tanzania's national parks before or after your kitesurfing adventure.
