Impeccable hospitality and hosting provided by the company and Said in particular. - I would like to commend Said hosting us for a week stay in Zanzibar, from the pick up at the airport to all the 4 different days of activities, ending with drop off at the airport at the end of our stay.
Said showed us the utmost hospitality, was helpful throughout the trip, the activities were the best part of the trip and we throughly enjoyed it. Whenever we needed extra stuff Said was more than happy to help and went above and beyond.
I would recommend anyone coming to Zanzibar to book with Viva ocean tours and safari. Top class company and people and couldn’t have asked for more.
We look forward to returning.

Best guide in Zanzibar - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a tour guided by Said and I cannot express enough how incredible the entire experience was. From start to finish, it was an absolute delight. We did the Mnemba island and Turtle aquarium, stone town tour, prison island, Jozani forest and many more tours provided by Said.
Everything went well and smooth and highly recommend choosing Said for all your tours in Zanzibar.
Thanks Said, From Sammy

An excellent guide for a good price - We booked several tours, such as Prison Island, Maalum Cave, Jozani Forest, snorkeling at Mnemba Island and a visit to the Sea Turtles, with Said and they were great! Said has a lot of knowledge about the island. If you are looking for a good guide at a nice price to discover Zanzibar, you should go to him.
Said, thank you, we had a fantastic time and will definitely recommend you when friends of ours visit Zanzibar.

Experience of a lifetime - Without doubt one of the favourite island to visit 🏝️
Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by Saed , our names were mentioned on the board and we felt welcomed and with such a friendly atmosphere we had a fantastic start! The guide and tour was extremely good, very flexible (appreciate this!) and for that he deserves a special thanks. We had four great days there with great insight about the history of the island explained by Saed.
Saed is such a warm personality and highly motivated guide (recommendable!). I truly enjoyed exploring the island with Saed as our guide. The scenery was beautiful and it was a relieve to explore in such a quiet and peaceful environment.
The experience is so special that it really felt like home to me and my wife. respect for Saed who does a great job there; a true sample of excellent tour guide!
Many thanks again and I recommend Saed to everyone visiting the island!!!

Guide needs to be attentive to client Needs - We loved Stone town city tour, Spice Tour and Jozani Forest. I would recommend visiting Zanzibar and doing a tour of these sites. Our tour guides were punctual and knowledgeable of the area.
My major concern however was that we were on an all day tour which included lunch and water. Our guide did not provide water and it was very hot. We were also tired and our guide did not check in with us for bathroom breaks or water breaks. The worse part was that they did not stop for lunch midday but took us to a restaurant at 5 pm for lunch! Then our guide proceeded to order food for us without inquiring what we wanted and ordered food that we didn’t want such as octopus soup!
My suggestion: Skip tour with lunch included and go on tour only!
