Fly into Abeid Amani Karume International Airport (ZNZ) on Unguja for direct or connecting regional/international service, as listed by the Zanzibar Airports Authority. Alternatively, Azam Marine operates ferry service between Dar es Salaam and the Zanzibar/Stone Town port. The crossing is passenger transport, not a dive-liveaboard. Confirm your exact operator schedule, weather cancellation conditions, baggage allowance and passport/entry checks before booking onward transport. From the airport or ferry terminal, organize a road pickup to the actual diving base: Stone Town for west-coast wrecks, Matemwe/Kiwengwa for Mnemba, Kendwa/Nungwi for Tumbatu, or Paje/Dongwe/Jambiani for southeast reefs.
Private car/taxi and hotel or operator transfers are the practical way to move between Stone Town, northwest, northeast and southeast dive bases. There is no evidenced scheduled public boat linking these dive hubs.
