Full Day Salaam Cave Tour with Mtende Beach & Kae Funk Trip: Turtles, Sand & Sunset

This Full Day Salaam Cave Tour with Mtende Beach & Kae Funk Trip covers three of Zanzibar’s south and east coast highlights in one booking: a swim with sea turtles, a secluded white sand beach, and sunset drinks at a laid-back beach bar, three stops most visitors only manage across separate days.

Swimming with Turtles at Salaam Cave

Salaam Cave in Kizimkazi Village is a natural cave sanctuary with crystal-clear turquoise water, home to sea turtles you can swim alongside and hand-feed seaweed under a guide’s supervision. It’s a shorter, calmer stop than open-water snorkeling, usually around thirty minutes in the water, and suits nervous swimmers and kids well.

If you’d rather pair the cave with Jozani Forest’s red colobus monkeys instead of a beach day, our Jozani Forest and Salaam Cave tour covers that combination.

Relaxing at Mtende Beach

Mtende Beach, near the village of Makunduchi on Zanzibar’s southern tip, is tucked into a cove between two dramatic rock formations, a quieter alternative to the busier beaches further north. The white sand and clear water make it a good stop for swimming, walking the shoreline, or simply resting between activities.

For airport-side pickup coordination around a long day like this, our Zanzibar airport transfers service can help arrange timing.

Sunset at Kae Funk

The day wraps up at Kae Funk, a beachfront sunset spot known for live music, cold drinks and open-air seating right on the sand. It’s the kind of low-key finish that turns a full day of activities into an actual evening out rather than a rushed drive back to your hotel.

Prefer wildlife over sunset drinks? Our Jozani Forest, Salaam Cave and Mtende Beach tour swaps Kae Funk’s evening for a morning with Zanzibar’s Red Colobus monkeys instead.
