Viva Ocean Tours & Safaris is the island’s specialist in weddings. We can arrange a full wedding for you, including all the paperwork, hotel booking, food arrangements, decorations, bride and groom preparations like massages, photographer and unique touches which make the most important day of your life even more unforgettable. Marriage on the pristine white beach of a boutique resort is the most usual. But Viva’s most attractive feature is an intimate ceremony on a deserted sandbank in the turquoise Indian Ocean, reached only by a traditional wooden dhow.

Several hotels and resorts like Anna of Zanzibar, Spice Island Hotel & Resort and Michamvi Sunset Bay contract our legal and practical services, while accommodation and decorations are arranged by the hotel itself.

Weddings can be arranged in all shapes and sizes, from small and intimate to all singing, all dancing extravaganzas with hundreds of guests. Venues for the ceremony are numerous, from the white sands and blue waters of the resort beach, mysterious historical ruins of the sultan’s area, local fishing villages, traditional wooden sailing boats to absolutely deserted sandbanks. Below we enumerate some of the services Viva Ocean Tours can develop for you, suggested resorts, a sample of a wedding package in one of our partner hotels and some remarks about the official side of the marriage.
