Set sail on a traditional Dhow boat for an unforgettable Mnemba Snorkeling and Dolphin Tour. What makes this tour unique is the blend of adventure and local culture, as you cruise in an authentic Swahili Dhow with adding a charming, traditional touch to your journey.
Start on an unforgettable sailing adventure from Nungwi Beach along the breathtaking northern coast of Zanzibar. As you set sail on the pristine, turquoise waters, be greeted by the stunning views of white sandy beaches, lush palm trees, and the vibrant marine life that make this coastline so beautiful.
Encounter playful dolphins in their natural habitat. Watch as they glide through the water, and if conditions are right, have a chance to jump in and swim alongside these magnificent creatures. It’s an extraordinary experience that combines relaxation, adventure, and nature’s wonders, promising memories of Zanzibar’s northern coast that will last a lifetime.
After sailing along Zanzibar's beautiful northern coast, reach the famous Mnemba Conservation Area, just around the Mnemba Island, an amazing spot for snorkeling. Here, jump into clear, blue waters to explore colorful coral reefs and swim among bright tropical fish. Mnemba is a protected area, so the sea life is lively and truly breathtaking.
There’s also a chance to meet more dolphins, giving you another exciting opportunity to swim alongside these friendly animals in their natural ocean home. If the tide is low, visit the disappearing sandbank which is a little patch of white sand surrounded by shallow water. It’s a perfect spot to relax, take in the views, and snap some memorable photos before the sandbank slips back under the waves.
After all activities are done, have lunch on board the traditional Dhow boat. Then after lunch, head back to Nungwi for dropping off and the tour ends there.
