Starfish Beach, Blue Lagoon snorkeling, and lunch at The Rock Restaurant in Zanzibar. Private 5-hour tour with pickup, guide, gear.
“Excellent tour! Blue lagoon is full of colourful fish, and the guide had some bread so we could feed the fish, they eat from your hand! We were snorkeling for some starfish, a lot of yellow and red and some black. The Rock...well...food was great, nicely presented, staff excellent...but very small portions and overpriced. I would never go for a lunch again at The Rock.”

“⭐⭐⭐☆☆ (3/5) Our experience was mixed. We were picked up from the hotel with a delay of about 1 hour and 20 minutes. The driver who came to pick us up seemed inexperienced and did not really know the details of the trip, which gave the impression of poor organization. At the port, when we arrived in the village to board the boat, we were asked to pay an additional fee. We had already paid 3 USD and were informed by the agency that there would be an extra 7 USD, but the guide did not believe us until we showed our full WhatsApp conversation with Jeff from the agency.…”

“Eigentlich war das Wetter zu schlecht, um zu starten. Gewitter und Regen. Dadurch wesentlich später gestartet. Wellengang dem entsprechend. Schnorchelstop enttäuschend. Aufenthalt auf der Sandbank, unspektakulär. Weiterfahrt zur Verkaufsinsel mit Mittagessen, welches soweit okay war. Im Vorfeld des Essen, Getränkeabfrage, Bier ja, welches sich nach dem ersten Schluck als kostenpflichtig darstellte, 4$. 5$ gegeben und kein Wechselgeld erhalten. Achtung Abzocke. Kann man machen, muss man aber nicht.”

“Pick up and drop off by Mo who was very respectful and safe,quality driving even during downpour. Sand Bank +fruit snack average as the tide was very low and not much swimming there. Snokling was good and full of beautiful fish. Lagoon swimming ,last stop great but not enough time to enjoy it. I would prefer to skup sand bank and stay in lagoon for longer. Boat ride was very bumpy on the day!!!The great atmosphere with everyone singing made the way back much better. Overall good experience.”
Every kind of day out between the crater rim and the reef.
