Honeymoon Add-Ons: What Couples Book After the Wedding

The wedding is done. The photos are taken. The champagne is finished. Now what?

Most couples who get married or elope with Zan Events stay in Zanzibar for their honeymoon — and they want to make every day count. Here are the most popular add-ons our couples book to turn their trip into the ultimate romantic experience.

Private Sunset Dhow Cruise

This is the number one add-on. A traditional Zanzibari dhow (wooden sailing boat) takes you out on the Indian Ocean at golden hour. You sail past the coastline, watch the sun drop below the horizon, and toast with champagne on the water.

We arrange private dhows — no other tourists, no group tours. Just the two of you, the captain, and the most beautiful sunset you have ever seen.

Private Beach Dinner

Even if you had a dinner as part of your wedding package, couples often book a second one during their honeymoon. A candlelit table on Bwejuu beach, fresh seafood, wine, lanterns in the sand — it never gets old.

We can theme the dinner differently each time: romantic, celebratory, or a relaxed barefoot BBQ under the stars.

Couples Spa Treatment

After the excitement of the wedding, a spa day is exactly what you need. We partner with local wellness providers to offer:

• Full-body massage for two
• Aromatherapy with local Zanzibar spices
• Beachside treatments with ocean views
• Coconut oil and tropical scrub rituals

Spice Tour

Zanzibar is the Spice Island. A guided spice tour takes you through plantations where you see, smell, and taste cloves, vanilla, cinnamon, cardamom, and dozens of other spices growing in their natural environment.

It is educational, fun, and completely unique. Most couples say it is one of the highlights of their trip.

Stone Town Exploration

Stone Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site — a maze of narrow streets, carved wooden doors, rooftop restaurants, and centuries of Swahili, Arab, and Indian culture. We arrange guided walking tours so you do not miss the best spots:

• The House of Wonders
• Freddie Mercury birthplace
• Darajani Market
• Rooftop sunset drinks at Emerson Spice or similar

Snorkeling and Marine Adventures

The waters around Zanzibar are crystal clear and full of life. Popular options include:

• Snorkeling at Mnemba Atoll (the best reef in East Africa)
• Swimming with dolphins near Kizimkazi
• Kayaking through mangrove forests
• Deep-sea fishing trips

Sunrise Photography Session

Bwejuu beach faces east — which means the sunrise is spectacular. Many couples book a separate sunrise photo session during their honeymoon. The light is completely different from sunset, and the beach is empty. The photos are ethereal.

How to Add These to Your Trip

When you book your wedding or elopement with Zan Events, we will ask about honeymoon plans. We can bundle add-ons into your package or arrange them separately once you are here.

Everything is coordinated by our team — transport, timing, reservations. You just show up and enjoy.

FAQ

Can I book honeymoon add-ons without a wedding package?

Yes. We offer standalone honeymoon experiences — sunset cruises, dinners, tours — even if you did not get married with us.

How far in advance should I book add-ons?

A few days is usually enough. But for peak season (July–September, December–January), we recommend booking at least a week ahead.

Are these experiences private or group tours?

Everything we arrange is private unless you specifically request a group option. Your honeymoon should feel exclusive.
