★★★★★★★★★★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…”

Zanzibar: Mnemba island Snorkeling & Boat Tour with Lunch

6.Mnemba island Snorkeling & Boat Tour with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★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”

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.”
