★★★★★★★★★★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…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 132 reviews · 6 hours · from $47

Review of Zanzibar’s Mnemba Island snorkeling tour, with coral, fish, tropical fruit, seafood lunch, transport tips, and honest drawbacks.

“The Hotel Pick Up was organized well! We loved the snorkeling spot and saw lots of fish! We also saw some dolphins although we found it quite dangerous to get in the water with them when there were about 20 boats circelling the animals and not paying any attention to the swimmers. We were also a little sad we had our lunch not right at the beach as others did but in a shelter in the back. In general a fun trip though :)”

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”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 94 reviews · from $45

Swim near dolphins, snorkel Mnemba’s reefs, and relax on a low-tide sandbank from Nungwi or Kendwa for $45.

“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”
