Highlights

Begin your experience early, as the morning is the best time to spot dolphins. Start from your location to the Matemwe fishing village, which is one of the oldest capitals on Zanzibar Island. While looking out for dolphins, dive in to snorkel among the wonderful coral reef and the variety of colorful fish and marine creatures. If the dolphins are in a good mood, you can witness them goofing around. As you will be in their natural habitat, there is no guarantee you'll have the chance to swim with the dolphins; your guide will do their best to ensure they are comfortable so you can enjoy their beautiful energy, whether up close or from a distance and also the cherry on top was the fresh fruit platter that our captain put together for us, delicious! We had a private tour which was great because it meant that we got the boat for ourselves.

Itinerary

  1. After pickup at your hotel on Unguja, Zanzibar, hop in your private boat toward Mnemba Island. Depending on conditions, reach the coral reef of the Mnemba Atoll Marine Reserve in up to 45 minutes. Once there, explore a reef that is big enough for everyone so you won't feel crowded, even on busy days. Keep your eyes peeled for yellow snapper, barracuda, turtles, and much more. After snorkeling, enjoy a snack stop on a sandbank. Relax under the sun as you savor seasonal fresh fruit and other small bites. Later, head back to shore on Unguja. See local fishermen coming back from the sea and selling their day's catches before being transferred back to your accommodation

    3 h

  2. Enjoy a dolphin-watching cruise aboard a specially designed viewing boat during a short but exciting excursion through Mnemba Island. First, look out for dolphin pods in the water—an excellent opportunity to see marine life in its natural habitat which not all travelers get to enjoy.
