Sunset Cruise Mafia Island, There is no better way to end a great day on beautiful Mafia Island than to get on a traditional dhow and watch the beautiful Mafian sunset from the water. The dhow leaves at 5:30 pm with a waitress and drinks on board. The captain will then sail you slowly through the aquamarine waters of Mafia. Once he finds a place to stay, he lowers the anchor, and you can raise your glass to see a sky full of bright red, pink, purple, and orange stars above an endless ocean. What an amazing sight!
