Taxi, minibus or dala-dala
The private taxi is the simple choice: price set in advance, hotel pickup. The dala-dala is cheapest but slow, with no timetable for luggage, and needs changes in Stone Town. There is no meter: see taxis and Bolt in Zanzibar. For a full day with stops, a driver by the day is a good option: getting around Zanzibar. For airport arrival, a Welcome Pickups private transfer is booked at a fixed price.
Before you go
Agree the price, currency and number of bags before getting in; confirm the pickup time the day before. If you change beach because of the tide, read tides and swimming and north or east, where to stay. Other trips: from the airport to your hotel.
