Getting around

Renting a piki piki, the honest way.

How we help guests rent a scooter without getting overcharged or stranded.

Guest filling out scooter rental paperwork in Jambiani village

A scooter - piki piki - is the best way to explore the east coast. Paje, Bwejuu, Michamvi, the south reef. Forty minutes between villages if you take it slow, which you should.

We work with one local family that rents Hondas, keeps them serviced, and writes proper paperwork. No deposits held hostage. No mystery scratches that suddenly appear at drop-off.

We help you arrange the temporary Zanzibar licence at the police station too. Total cost is roughly half what you will be quoted on the beach by strangers.

Helmets included. Please wear them.
