★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 1,043 reviews · 4 hours · from $50Our pick

Review of the $50 Mnemba boat trip from Kendwa, with dolphin watching, reef snorkeling, a sandbank stop, tips, value, and practical advice.

“the trip was great, we saw at least over 50 dolphins on our way out. We got to swim with the dolphins and snorkel. Seeing the fish around Mnemba and snorkeling was great. Our guide was very knolwedgeable and pointed out fish to us and helped us. Finally we went to a nice sandbank where we had some fresh fruit. On our boat, there was some inexperienced swimmers and special care was taken with them and they got to swim with life vests and see all the animals. 10/10, would go again!”

Review of Matemwe’s $35 Mnemba Island boat trip, with dolphin watching, snorkeling, fruit, practical tips, and honest advice on value.

“Absolutely amazing value for money and a must do activity! Driver arrived on time and as we were staying in Jambiani, we had to go to the other side of the island- about an hour and a half. However, the drive was very comfortable and pleasant- air con available and the driver was very nice, telling us about the things we were passing on our way like the local schools, rice plantations and spice farms. As we arrived, we were given snorkelling equipment to fit our needs and we quickly went on the boat. It was only a small group of about 14 people. We had cold water available at…”

Review of Zanzibar’s private Mnemba dolphin and snorkeling tour, including the reef, sandbank, price, timing, transport, and booking advice.

“O passeio é MARAVILHOSO. Vimos o nascer-do-sol, vimos golfinhos, nadámos com os golfinhos, vimos os corais. A temperatura do mar era muito boa, cederam coletes e óculos. O povo da Tanzânia é muito simpático e inexcedível na satisfação do turista. Os tanzanianos são sempre atentos ao turista, é um turismo sem qualquer paralelo na Europa. Aqui, em Zanzibar, é tudo bom, começando pelo povo. Obrigado, amigos”

Review of Nungwi’s Mnemba boat trip, dolphin swim, snorkeling, sandbank stop, timing, safety, value, and practical tips.

“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.”

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 39 reviews · 3.5 - 6 hours · from $18

Review of Zanzibar’s Mnemba Island dolphin swim and snorkeling tour, with honest advice on coral reefs, ethics, lunch, price, guides, and logistics.

“The tour was really bad. We had requested an English-speaking guide, but the two guides with us did not speak English at all and only talked to each other in Swahili, so nothing was explained to us. We did not swim with dolphins; we only saw one briefly, and there was no effort to get closer or look for them. Later, we stopped near an island, but since there was no communication in English, we didn’t know how long the stop would be, so everyone stayed near the boat, afraid to explore. During the snorkeling stop, the equipment was very old and in poor condition; the snorkel tubes were loose…”

“Amazing day overall, highly recommend. From the beginning we had a great driver, good music, good vibes. Our boat captain and his brothers were excellent, very knowledgeable and made us feel safe. The positive energy from the team was infectious. What a life they live swimming with Dolphins everyday. We saw multiple dolphin pods, got a bit of rain, got a bit of sunshine and we’ll be heading back with some iconic pictures and videos.”
