Review of Mnemba dolphin and snorkeling tour from Zanzibar, with dolphins, coral reefs, sandbanks, transport, pricing, and practical tips.
“it was a great trip with a paradise like colored ocean and we saw so many fish right from the movie "Finding Nemo". Our guides was Fauv who we highly recommend. Unfortunately we had to wait 45 minutes for other trip members to arrive (again, like the tour a few days before), and we were not able to walk on the sand bank because of high tide. I think it's necessary to add this short information to the tour description. Conclusion: Great tour, great guide!”

“Guide en français (comme demandé) la prochaine fois car incapable de nous dire 2 mots en français, il faut annoncé que le Blue Lagoon n'est visible que rarement selon les marées (donc pas vu!!!), avertir qu'il faut impérativement des chaussures pour marcher dans l'eau”

Review of Zanzibar’s private Mnemba snorkeling tour, with reef sites, dolphin sightings, hotel transfers, costs, and practical tips.
“Drivers drove to fast had to ask him to slow down. No landing on a beach dumped in middle of a very rough sea for snorkelling, visibility poor and not much sea life. Sea became even rougher so we asked skipper to take us back to shore. Trip should have been cancelled or amended because of poor weather conditions it also poured with rain. No dolphins in site oversold sold under delivered thought we would land on a beach or island.”
Review of the $45 Mnemba snorkeling and dolphin trip from Nungwi, with coral reefs, fresh fruit, sandbanks, boat tips, and honest drawbacks.
“Mnemba Island is stunning and the water is crystal clear enabling first class snorkelling, we also got to swim with dolphins”
Review of the $50 Mnemba boat trip from Nungwi, with dolphin spotting, reef snorkeling, a sandbank stop, practical tips, and honest drawbacks.
“Overall, 3/5 is fair. Dolphin snorkelling - a group of 10-15 boats were in the same area, and as soon as dolphins were spotted, all raced towards it. If you weren’t in the first boat, the dolphins were scared away by the time you got there. Still, the thrill of racing towards dolphins and jumping out of a moving boat felt like something out of a Mission Impossible movie, an expected adrenaline rush. The Mnemba Boat Trip - truly beautiful. Unfortunately, the journey from the dolphins to the island took an unexpectedly long time, but when we arrived, we were treated to some time on a sandbank where we were…”

“Amazing day overall, highly recommend. From the beginning we had a great driver, good music, good vibes. Our boat captain and his brothers were excellent, very knowledgeable and made us feel safe. The positive energy from the team was infectious. What a life they live swimming with Dolphins everyday. We saw multiple dolphin pods, got a bit of rain, got a bit of sunshine and we’ll be heading back with some iconic pictures and videos.”

Review of Zanzibar’s private Tumbatu snorkeling tour, with reef conditions, transport, guides, cost, wildlife, and practical booking tips.
“We had a wonderful snorkeling adventure with Hasan and the captain of the boat. We were the only boat in the area where we snorkeled off of Tumbatu island. For the budget price, we thought it was a good value without luxury but we had all we needed. I recommend it for a more local style adventure.”
Tumbatu Island snorkeling from Kendwa or Nungwi, with private boat, gear, fruit, water, flexible timing, and practical cautions.
“Siamo stati un po' sfortunati, causa bassa marea non siamo riusciti a sbarcare sull'isola e a goderci una spiaggia bellissima tutta per noi! Per lo snorkeling abbiamo avuto paura di tuffarci causa avvistamento di un banco di meduse. Mi dispiace, ma sicuramente è un escursione che vale la pena fare e soprattutto la guida è stata gentile e ha capito la situazione.”
An animal, a kind of water, a kind of boat, or a kind of day.
