What you can expect

Dive into the breathtaking underwater world of Mnemba Island on this dolphin swim and snorkeling adventure — one of Zanzibar's most popular marine tours.

This half-day experience combines dolphin watching, snorkeling in Mnemba Atoll Marine Park, and relaxation on the Indian Ocean, all led by experienced local guides.

Pickup and meeting point: start your day stress-free with hotel pickup available from anywhere in Zanzibar, or meet the group directly at the departure point on Muyuni Beach, near Matemwe.

Dolphin encounters: enjoy a scenic boat ride to the dolphin-rich waters surrounding Mnemba Island. Watch wild dolphins in their natural habitat, and if sea conditions allow, swim alongside them under the guidance of your experienced crew, who follow ethical and responsible wildlife practices to protect both your safety and the dolphins' well-being.

Snorkeling in Mnemba Atoll Marine Park: after the dolphin encounter, dive into the protected waters of Mnemba Atoll, home to some of Zanzibar's most vibrant coral reefs. Snorkel alongside tropical fish, sea turtles, and colorful coral gardens, guided by local experts who'll take you to the best underwater spots. All snorkeling equipment is provided, and the experience suits all levels, from beginners to experienced snorkelers.

Relaxation and refreshments: after snorkeling, unwind on the boat with refreshing soft drinks and seasonal tropical fruits, taking in panoramic views of turquoise waters and white sandy beaches. You can also upgrade your experience with an optional lunch at a local restaurant serving Swahili or seafood dishes.

Your unforgettable day concludes with drop-off at your hotel.
