★★★★★★★★★★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 :)”

“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”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 26 reviews · 3.5 - 5.5 hours · from $78

Review Tumbatu Island snorkeling near Zanzibar, with colorful reefs, turtles, private boats, practical tips, prices, and honest drawbacks.

“Hassan was an excellent guide, knowledgeable and obviously passionate about protecting the reef. We were the only boat out on the reef and just to have that experience was magical. Went to Mnemba the day before and was horrified at the amount of boats and tourists around, looking at a dead reef and fish that's only there because everyone was feeding them. The coral was much better, lots of different fish to see, beautiful scenery without anyone else around. would highly recommend! just make sure you bring some reef shoes or decent sandals to cross the shore to the boat.”

★★★★★★★★★★3.8 · 24 reviews · 9 hours · from $99

Review of Zanzibar’s 9-hour Safari Blue trip, with snorkeling, sandbanks, seafood barbecue, transport tips, costs, and honest drawbacks.

“Il tour è davvero bellissimo e la persona che ci ha fatto da guida davvero educata e carina oltre che molto premurosa. Abbiamo aspettato circa due ore prima di imbarcarci ed io ho protestato perché eravamo molto in ritardo ed avremmo perso la mattinata. Ho chiesto un refund ma poi non mi sono accanita per averlo ma mi è stato comunque fatto. Vista la qualità del tour complessivamente (cibo in abbondanza e buono) lo consiglio e riconosco al fornitore grande flessibilità ed onestà.”
