Karibuni sana!

At Amu House, we are committed to both cultural and sustainable tourism practices.

Visitors explore the islands in comfort, enjoying seafood lunch cooked on board. Go snorkeling, bird watching, fishing or relax with bitings and drinks on a sunset sail.

We encourage our guests to take the slow boat to explore the natural beauty of our Archipelago while minimizing their ecological footprint. Age old sailing dhows use the wind and guests experience how travel has happened here for many centuries. The wind is supplemented by a 15hp engine for when it blows against us.

A trip on a sailing dhow will never be forgotten
