Mnemba Island is located just 3 km off the northeast coast of Unguja, the largest island in the Zanzibar archipelago. It’s an ideal destination for adventure lovers and underwater exploration. The excursion usually starts with a fast local boat ride from the village of Matemwe to Mnemba Island.

During this trip, you’ll have the chance to swim with bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops dolphins) and capture these unique moments in photos or videos.

Mnemba Island is especially famous for its stunning coral reefs and colorful tropical fish such as zebra fish, starfish, black fish, and blue fish. It’s considered one of the best places to go snorkeling in crystal-clear water, home to exceptional marine life.

After snorkeling, it’s time to relax with a tasting of fresh tropical fruits like banana, watermelon, pineapple, and many more. At low tide, you can also discover Mnemba’s spectacular sandbank—an unmissable and breathtaking natural site!

Optionally, extend the experience with a jet ski session after the tour for even more thrills on the water.

Our advantage: This is a private excursion with a very early morning departure to avoid the crowds and fully enjoy the sea in a calm, privileged setting.
