Half-Day Private Seaweed Farm Tour in Paje, Zanzibar (2026 - 2027)

Seaweed Farm Tour in Paje

Your morning begins with a warm greeting from your local guide, who leads you along Paje’s sunlit beach as the tide gently recedes. The sea stretches out in shades of turquoise, revealing wooden stakes lined with green seaweed strands swaying softly in the shallow water. Local women, dressed in bright kangas, smile as they invite you to join their work. You wade barefoot through the warm lagoon, watching as they tie seedlings and harvest strands with graceful precision skills passed down for generations. Your guide explains how the seaweed is cleaned, dried, and sold to make soaps and lotions. Afterward, you rest under a palm tree, sipping fresh coconut water while the ocean breeze cools your skin. The tour ends with a short stroll along Paje’s peaceful shore, where the horizon glows and island life moves to the slow rhythm of the tides.
