Snorkeling to Mnemba Atoll: Full-Day Tour From Zanzibar
Dolphin Encounters, Vibrant Coral Reefs & Fresh Seafood BBQ
Overview
Embark on a high-quality Zanzibar day tour that takes you to the mesmerizing Mnemba Atoll, a Marine Conservation Area where every moment is designed for relaxation and wonder.
Unlike many crowded boat trips, our sailing experience is intimate: we limit each trip to 30–35 guests so that you have plenty of space to relax, snorkel, and simply enjoy the journey.
You’ll set sail at 8:30 AM and spend the morning cruising in crystal-clear waters where dolphins often play alongside the boat. After a 1½-hour sail, you’ll reach Mnemba Island.
As our crew prepares a delicious fresh BBQ fish or seafood (the catch of the day), you’re invited to dive into the stunning underwater world. Imagine being in a giant, living aquarium filled with colourful angelfish, parrotfish, clownfish, pipefish, wrasses, and many other species exploring the intricate coral reefs.
Feel the soft sea breeze and the warmth of the sun on your skin as you immerse yourself in the vibrant blue of the ocean.
