The water is azure blue with an average temperature of 27°C the year around. Shorts all year round. Zanzibar is located close to the equator, so the tropical climate creates an endless summer. In addition, the coastal location produces cooling sea breezes that make the climate perfectly enjoyable.

Shallow blue, perfect crystal clear warm tropical waters protected by a lagoon provide safe kiting for all with optional wave riding on the reef for more advanced riders.
