Do not book with this tour group
When the tour agency asks what hotel for pick up & their response is…”Is that in Nungwi Beach?”, that should be the first sign to cancel the booking. I sent pics & Google map directions. While waiting for pickup, the driver called (was at the wrong hotel); 5 minutes later, he called again (at the wrong hotel again); I told him that I am standing in the middle of the street in front of the hotel….he claimed that he was in the right place. If the driver can’t find the hotel (in tiny Nungwi Beach) with Google map directions & 2 phone calls, then I don’t trust a tour anywhere. Do not book with this company.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry that the pickup process was frustrating and that communication did not go as smoothly as expected. According to our driver, he arrived at the hotel and attempted to contact you several times, but there was confusion about the exact pickup location and he was asked to wait outside the gate due to traffic. He waited for approximately 20 minutes while trying to reach you. We regret that the situation ended this way, as our goal is always to provide a smooth and enjoyable experience from pickup to drop-off. We will review this incident with our team to improve communication and avoid similar misunderstandings in the future. The Payo Quad Zanzibar Team 🌴✨

Unforgettable
Amazing experience with Freddy! We spent 4 hours on a quad bike and had the best time. He took us to incredible places with breathtaking views. I was absolutely amazed! Freddy was so friendly, helpful, and attentive throughout the whole experience. Highly recommend him!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for such a wonderful review! 😍❤️ We’re absolutely delighted to hear that you had an amazing time during your 4-hour quad adventure and enjoyed the incredible views and beautiful places along the way. 🏍️🌴 And a big thank you for your kind words about Freddy! We’ll be sure to share your message with him — we know he’ll be very happy to hear it. 😊🙌 It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you back to Zanzibar for another unforgettable adventure! ✨ The Payo Quad Zanzibar Team 🌴✨

Fun Times
Enjoyable, but be prepared for a bumpy ride and getting dirty due to dirt roads. My ATV cutoff twice and I had to remind the guide to have vehicle maintenance regularly.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback. 😊 We’re glad you enjoyed the experience and appreciate your honesty. We’re sorry that your ATV cut off twice during the tour. We take safety and vehicle maintenance very seriously and will reinforce our maintenance checks with the team. The dirt roads can be bumpy and dusty, as they are part of the off-road experience. We hope to welcome you again for an even better adventure! 🌴🏍️

This ain’t it bruv.
No one should go on this tour. I had to email the company to find out the meeting time. It was not listed anywhere on the tour description. I received no answer to three seperate emails. I was able to get in touch with the tour company via the concierge service at my hotel only to be told that the meeting point (also unlisted) is over an hour away from my hotel and since my hotel was so far from the meeting location they will not be picking me up from my hotel as indicated on their own tour description. Being an optimist I decided t take a taxi to them. Upon arrival I had to wait around for about 45 mins while they waited for the guide. I was then taken to 3 locations via quad. The first location was a construction site, the second a beach that looked like a Somalian pirate haunt, and finally a village so depressing that for the life of me I couldn’t understand why I was taken there. Without the joy of driving a quad this would been a soul crushing few hours. Learn from my mistake and book a different quad tour.
Response from the operator: **Hello,** We are sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations, and we sincerely apologize for the delay before the tour started. However, we would like to clarify a few points regarding your review. Our booking information clearly states that **free hotel pick-up and drop-off are available only in Nungwi and Kendwa**. As your hotel was in Stone Town, our team informed you that transportation from Stone Town was not included and that you could arrange a taxi at your own expense. Regarding the delay, we fully acknowledge that you had to wait before the guide arrived, and we sincerely apologize for this. At the time, our guide was returning from another scheduled tour before joining yours. We understand that waiting was frustrating, and this is something we are working to improve. As for the itinerary, the tour follows a **standard route shared by our guests**, including the beach and local village visits. These stops are intentionally included to offer visitors an opportunity to experience a different and more authentic side of Zanzibar, beyond the usual tourist areas. We are therefore sorry that these locations did not match your personal expectations. However, we respect that every traveler has different preferences. We appreciate your feedback and will continue improving our communication, organization and punctuality to ensure a better experience for our guests. **Payo Quad Zanzibar Team** 🌴🏍️

An Unforgettable PAYO Quad Adventure with My Brother, Deus! 🌟
This was hands down my most favorite and memorable experience in all my travels around the globe! I seriously mean this. I booked this tour completely last-minute—only a few hours before being picked up at my hotel—without really knowing what to expect. It turned out to be the absolute highlight of my entire time in Zanzibar. A massive thank you to Deus and the entire PAYO team from your Dominican Republic brother, Junior! 🇩🇴 Tour Highlights— The Route: We rode through local villages, lush landscapes, and the stunning beaches of Nungwi & Kendwa Community. Connection: Getting off the beaten path to see real local village life was deeply moving and authentic. Deep Village Connection: The absolute pinnacle of the tour was riding deep into the local tribal villages. This wasn't just a drive-by; it was an authentic, raw, and beautiful cultural immersive experience. Wisdom of the Elders: We had the profound honor of meeting and connecting with the village elders. Sharing moments with them, feeling their warmth, and hearing their stories was an experience that words can barely capture. Pure Joy with the Children: The absolute best part of the day was spending time with the local children. Their smiles, laughter, and high-energy interactions were incredibly uplifting and left a lasting imprint on my heart. The Thrilling Ride: Navigating the dirt paths through the community, agricultural forestry, and cruising along the stunning beaches of Nungwi and Kendwa on the quad bikes was pure adrenaline. Seamless Organization: Even with a last-minute booking, the pickup and organization were completely flawless. The Legendary Guide: Meeting my guide, Deus, was like reconnecting with a long-lost brother. Incredible Energy: His warmth, energy, and genuine hospitality made the entire 4 hours unforgettable. True Professional: He looked out for me, shared local insights, took video and photos, and made the whole experience feel like family time. Tips: - Wear something comfortable as there is a bit of dust in some areas; Sunscreen or long sleeves. - Water is provided. - Bring enough charity money for when you reach the village, to have for buying snacks or rice for the kids — I would say $45usd total can get rice for everyone, if not there are a few available options under that. If you go to Zanzibar, do not hesitate—book this immediately!!!! I highly recommend!!!!!
Response from the operator: DearJunior!” 🇩🇴❤️🇹🇿 Wow… what an incredible review! ❤️ Your words truly touched us, and it means so much to the entire Payo Quad Zanzibar team. From the moment you joined us on this last-minute adventure, you brought such amazing energy. Hearing that the experience became the highlight of your time in Zanzibar is the greatest compliment we could receive. Deus will be especially happy to read your words. We know how much heart he puts into sharing his home, his culture and the local community with our guests. The connection you felt with him and the villagers is exactly what we hope our experiences can create — genuine encounters, unforgettable memories and moments that go far beyond a simple quad ride. We are also so happy that you enjoyed discovering the villages, meeting the elders, sharing moments with the children, and riding through the landscapes and beaches of Nungwi and Kendwa. 🏝️🏍️ Thank you for trusting us at the very last minute and for becoming part of the Payo family. And from your Zanzibar brothers, a huge “Asante sana, Junior!” 🇩🇴❤️🇹🇿 We truly hope to see you again one day. Until then, keep travelling, keep exploring, and keep that amazing energy! With love and gratitude, Deus & the entire Payo Quad Zanzibar Team 🌴🏍️❤️

Nungwi & Kendwa: 4H Quad Tour – Beaches, Villages & Community: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Zanzibar City.
How much does Nungwi & Kendwa: 4H Quad Tour – Beaches, Villages & Community cost?
+
Prices start at $80 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Zanzibar City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Nungwi & Kendwa: 4H Quad Tour – Beaches, Villages & Community take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Zanzibar City is not rushed.
Is Nungwi & Kendwa: 4H Quad Tour – Beaches, Villages & Community worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 103 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Zanzibar City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Nungwi & Kendwa: 4H Quad Tour – Beaches, Villages & Community?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Nungwi & Kendwa: 4H Quad Tour – Beaches, Villages & Community suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Nungwi & Kendwa: 4H Quad Tour – Beaches, Villages & Community?
+
Around 36 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Zanzibar City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Zanzibar City and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Nungwi & Kendwa: 4H Quad Tour – Beaches, Villages & Community start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Zanzibar City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Zanzibar City?
+
On Outty we rank every Zanzibar City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 3 Hours Private Stone Town Walking Tour, Stone Town Heritage Walk with local Guide, Zanzibar Adventure Quad with Sunset and Transfer Included. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Zanzibar City?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Zanzibar City?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Nungwi & Kendwa: 4H Quad Tour – Beaches, Villages & Community?
+
Included: Snacks; Carbonated beverages; Drone Footage; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Quad adventure. Not included: Alcohol during the trip. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Nungwi & Kendwa: 4H Quad Tour – Beaches, Villages & Community include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 133 listed pickup locations in and around Zanzibar City. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Nungwi & Kendwa: 4H Quad Tour – Beaches, Villages & Community offered in?
+
It is offered in German, Russian, English, Italian, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
