Highlights
This is easily one of Zanzibar’s best snorkeling days, and since it’s a shared "picnic" tour, the vibe is super social and laid-back. You’ll spend the morning drifting over reefs packed with fish before heading to a sandbank where we set up shade tents so you can swim and chill without getting scorched. The trip also takes you into the mangroves to a hidden natural swimming pool and over to Kwale Island to see a massive, ancient Baobab tree that's been there for centuries. When you get hungry, we put on a massive BBQ spread with everything from fresh seafood to vegetarian options, plus an open bar stocked with soft drinks

Itinerary
The Safari Blue adventure kicks off in the sleepy fishing village of Fumba, the perfect jumping-off point for exploring the protected waters of Menai Bay. This area is famously untouched, dotted with deserted islands and often visited by wild humpback and bottlenose dolphins. After a quick morning briefing, you’ll sail out to a white-sand bank to spend the morning swimming or snorkeling through reefs that are absolutely packed with tropical fish—don't worry if you’re a beginner, as the guides have all the gear and tips you'll need. Once you’ve worked up an appetite, we head over to Kwale Island for a massive, hot-off-the-grill seafood buffet featuring lobster, prawns, and calamari. The day ends with a chill session at the "Blue Lagoon," a natural mangrove swimming pool, before heading back around 3:00 PM. It’s a full day of sun, salt, and some of the best food you’ll find on the island.

About Zanzibar City
Zanzibar City is the main town of Zanzibar island, and its old Stone Town of carved doors and narrow lanes carries Swahili, Arab and Indian history.
Stone Town is the old heart of Zanzibar City, a maze of narrow lanes, coral-stone houses and carved wooden doors, shaped by centuries of Arab, Indian, Persian and European traders. The House of Wonders, the Old Fort and the Sultan's Palace face the seafront, and Forodhani Gardens fills with food stalls at dusk. The Anglican cathedral stands on the site of a former slave market, with a sobering memorial nearby.
