“The day was great, picked up in a lovely car with a friendly driver. Was taken up towards the boat where we met Radsheed who was the most helpful and pleasant young man. Had a great trip seeing the fish, chose not to see the dolphins as the ocean was so choppy due to the high winds. Fruit on the boat was lovely and had a great dinner on the beach. Great experience 5*”

“As a woman who travels alone this is a very safe and trustworthy activity! I had such a nice driver and guide on the way. The guide showed me around a old village, then we came to the swim with turtles place. I could be there as long as I wanted. He took all the time and was very patient with taking pictures for me aswell. After the swim with turtles we had still some time so we went to the beautiful beach of Nungwi, which I enjoyed a lot. It was an amazing day and I would do this over again😍 (also, they were on time at the pick…”

“It was great. Pretty choppy waters so not great if sea sick. Could have been fed more”
Half-day Mnemba trip from Kendwa or Nungwi for dolphin time, top snorkeling, and a possible low-tide sandbank relax.
“Incredible snorkeling and respectful dolphin watching – thank you Juma! I was unsure about the dolphin part of the Mnemba tour, but our guide Juma completely changed my mind. He made sure the boat kept a respectful distance and never chased the dolphins — which made the experience feel natural and meaningful. The highlight for me was the snorkeling: crystal-clear water, vibrant fish, and beautiful coral. Absolutely unforgettable! Juma was professional, passionate, and clearly cares about marine life. Just be aware: the sea can get rough, so not ideal if you get seasick. Highly recommend this tour !Read more”

“Best Experience Ever! For someone who is not the best swimmer I was a bit hesitant to do this excursion however it turned out to be the best experience ever. The staff were very friendly yet professional in explaining and giving a brief on everything prior to going under the water. Walking under the ocean felt like being in another world. I didn't need to swim or float, instead I just walked and enjoyed the different colorful fish swimming around me. Thank you for the experience Zanzibar Sea Walk, highly recommend.”

Dolphin swim and Mnemba snorkeling from Nungwi in 4 hours, with coral reefs, a sandbank stop, and included gear plus fruit and drinks.
“Experiencia nefasta. No la contraten. La excursión comenzó una hora después de lo previsto (a las 9 hs). El transporte en el que se realizó es un bote muy precario, sin medidas de Seguridad mínima. No nos permitieron bajar a nadar con los delfines, solo avistarlos 5 minutos. Los guías no hablaban español, siendo que la actividad era en español. Las bebidas incluidas eran botellas de agua.”
Dolphin swim and guided snorkeling at Mnemba Atoll from Nungwi or Muyuni, with fruit on the beach and optional lunch in 3.5 to 6 hours.
“L’ esperienza é ridicola: 30 barche che danno la caccia ad un gruppo di delfini. Probabilmente nutriti per nuotare il quella pezzo di mare. Chaos, Smog, benzina, urla, … 100 persone su una striscia di sabbia. É stata una pessima esperienza e dovrebbero far pagarevdi più e limitare i turisti della peggior specie. Grassoni unti di creme solare che camminina sopra i coralli ormai morti proprio per questo tipo di turismo massificato. Lo Staff della barca bravi e gentili ma la tipologia di tour é ridicola. Non la consiglio a nessuno. Se mi fossi documentato meglio non sarei mai andato in un casino del genere. Non si può mandare 30…”
Sunset dhow cruise from Nungwi and Kendwa with live drummers, fruits, sparkling drinks, and a relaxing 2.5-hour Indian Ocean sail.
“L’organizzazione dell’escursione è stata insoddisfacente. La barca era eccessivamente piena, senza spazio né agio, soprattutto per chi può soffrire il mare. In queste condizioni non si percepisce un adeguato livello di sicurezza: non è stato effettuato alcun briefing e non era evidente la disponibilità di giubbotti salvagente per tutti. La partenza è avvenuta con quasi un’ora di ritardo, verosimilmente per imbarcare più persone, penalizzando chi era puntuale e aumentando notevolmente il disagio. L’intrattenimento con i tamburelli, se limitato a un breve momento, potrebbe essere accettabile, ma protratto per tutta la durata risulta insopportabile e dovrebbe essere chiaramente indicato nella d...”

Every kind of day out between the crater rim and the reef.
