★★★★★★★★★★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!”

“My husband and I had a wonderful time on this trip. Not only did we get an unforgettable experience with the turtles (which were all in very good condition), our guide also gave us an unexpected tour of a local village where we attempted weaving and coconut shaving with the elder and learnt about local culture. At no point were we pressured to buy anything and felt this whole morning was a genuine and welcome experience. Would highly recommend.”

Matemwe: Mnemba Island Dolphin & Snorkeling Boat Trip

4.Mnemba Island Dolphin & Snorkeling Boat Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 152 reviews · 4 - 5 hours · from $35

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…”

Mnemba from Kendwa & nungwi half day

5.Mnemba from Kendwa & nungwi half day

★★★★★★★★★★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”

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.”

Zanzibar: Mnemba Island&Dolphin Swim With Optional Lunch

11.Mnemba Island&Dolphin Swim With Optional Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★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…”

Review Mnemba Island’s $40 snorkeling and dolphin tour, with reef conditions, transport tips, crowds, safety, value, and honest advice.

“Très bonne prise en charge du taxi, guide sympa. En revanche, énormément de bateaux sur le site de snorkeling, les coraux sont morts et les poissons sont tristement nourris aux bouts de pain. Nous n’avons pas pu voir de dauphins car il y avait trop de vent et de vagues. Finalement, une concentration beaucoup trop importante de touristes sur des zones très restreintes gâche l’expérience globale, sans compter le désastre écologique.”

Swim near wild dolphins and snorkel Mnemba Atoll from Nungwi on a budget-friendly six-hour Zanzibar boat tour.

“It was not good experience. Staff was not taking care of people's safety, only care about money and not the wellbeing of people. There was a pregnant woman being sick and a child very afraid as they were going to quickly with high waves. In addition, there was a serious issue with the motor adding to the lack of safety (they changed engine starter pieces in the middle of the ocean, it didnt work well afterwards but they didnt care). When we ask to come back because of motor issue, people freaking out / sick and bad weather (high waves), he asked "have you paid already ?" showing that for…”
