About This Activity

After being picked up from your accommodation in Zanzibar, you will be transferred to Muyuni Beach or the northeast coast to board your private boat. From here, it’s a 45-minute journey from the northern beaches of Nungwi/Kendwa or a 30-minute trip from Muyuni Beach to Mnemba Island, a pristine white sand island encircled by a protected marine reserve.

As you sail, keep an eye out for wild dolphins in the crystal-clear waters. Your first stop will be Dolphin Point, where you’ll have the unique opportunity to swim alongside these majestic creatures. Next, we will journey to Mnemba Marine Reserve, renowned for its vibrant coral reefs teeming with marine life. Here, you’ll snorkel among an array of colorful fish, including clownfish, blue tangs, groupers, zebra fish, cornetfish, rainbow fish, moray eels, and trumpetfish.

Following your snorkeling adventure, we’ll visit a picturesque sandbank, whose appearance depends on the tide level. Relax on the soft, powdery sands as you soak up the sun and savor the refreshing flavors of fresh tropical fruits. Listen to the gentle sound of the waves lapping against the shore, creating a serene and tranquil atmosphere.

Your experienced captain will guide you to various areas, some celebrated for their vibrant coral reefs and tropical fish, while others offer opportunities to spot sea turtles or glimpse larger marine life in deeper waters.

As the day draws to a close, you’ll return to your hotel, taking with you unforgettable memories of Mnemba Island’s breathtaking natural beauty and unique marine experiences.
