Ferries run daily between Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar and Pemba from the Dar es Salaam Ferry Terminal on Sokoine Drive. Tickets can be bought from the office here. There are several ‘fast' services and one slower one. Dhows also ply these routes although officially foreigners are prohibited from catching non-motorised dhows and boat captains are subject to heavy fines if caught. There are two types of dhow. Jahazi are large, lateen-sailed boats, whilst Mashua are similar, but smaller and therefore have proportionally wider hulls and usually a motor.

Dalla-dallas (minibuses) run regularly past the ferry terminal. Alternatively it is not too far to walk to the city centre.
