Helicopter Airport Transfer to Tulia Zanzibar

Zanzibar Helicopter

Traveling to Zanzibar is already an unforgettable experience – and now it can be even more exceptional. We are delighted to introduce a new premium helicopter transfer service, now available between Zanzibar International Airport (ZNZ) and areas where our hotel, Tulia Zanzibar, is located.

Fast, Comfortable, and with Views of the Indian Ocean

Helicopter transfers offer the ultimate in comfort and speed, along with breathtaking aerial views of Zanzibar’s turquoise lagoons, white-sand beaches, and palm-lined coastline – right from the moment you arrive or depart.

Tulia Zanzibar is located near Kiwengwa, one of the designated helicopter landing areas. This makes the service an ideal choice for guests who wish to arrive at the resort in style, effortlessly and without unnecessary delays.

Helicopter Transfer Price

A helicopter transfer from Zanzibar International Airport (ZNZ) to the Kiwengwa landing area is available at USD 1,160 per helicopter.

Upon landing at the Kiwengwa helicopter landing site, guests will be warmly welcomed by a Tulia Zanzibar hotel driver, who will take care of the final part of the journey. A comfortable road transfer of approximately 15 minutes will bring guests directly to the resort, allowing them to relax and seamlessly transition from the helicopter arrival to the tranquil surroundings of Tulia Zanzibar.

The price is per helicopter, not per person, with a capacity of up to 6 passengers, making it an attractive option for couples, families, or small groups traveling together.

Seamless Arrival Assistance Between Your International Flight and Helicopter Transfer

The helicopter company provides a dedicated ground crew at Zanzibar International Airport, offering full assistance from the moment guests arrive on a scheduled international flight until they board the local helicopter transfer. The team handles fast-track immigration and arrival clearance, with approximately 45 minutes scheduled between the landing of the international flight and the helicopter’s departure.

Passport copies and valid travel insurance certificates are required in advance. If guests have not obtained their visas online, the ground crew will also assist with the visa process on arrival, ensuring a smooth and effortless transition to the helicopter and onward to Tulia Zanzibar.

What Helicopter Models are used and what is the Passenger Capacity?

Depending on availability, flights are conducted with either an Airbus H125, accommodating up to 5 passengers plus one pilot, or an Airbus H130, offering space for up to 6 passengers plus one pilot. Both helicopter types are well known for their excellent performance, smooth flight experience, and large windows, allowing guests to fully enjoy the spectacular aerial views of Zanzibar throughout the journey.
