Itinerary and highlights

This tour includes three unforgettable activities: the Dolphin Tour, Snorkeling at Mnemba Reef, and relaxing at a Sandbank.

We’ll begin with dolphin spotting at Kombe, Tangini, or Kichwani — quiet areas near Mnemba Island where you can often see groups of 10–30 dolphins.

Although they are wild, the chance of spotting them is around 95%.

Next, enjoy snorkeling at the Mnemba Reef, one of the best coral reefs in the world, home to colorful tropical fish and crystal-clear waters — a true paradise for snorkel lovers.

Finally, unwind at the nearby Sandbank, surrounded by calm, shallow waters that look like a natural swimming pool — the perfect spot to relax and soak in the beauty of Zanzibar.
