Itinerary

After hotel pickup, we will head to Nungwi to board our dhow and begin our cruise towards Mnemba. Along the way, we may have opportunities to spot dolphins, and we will pause for photos before continuing to Mnemba.

Upon reaching Mnemba, we will start our snorkeling adventure. If you are not a confident swimmer, our instructor will assist you in putting on a life jacket, guide you on how to snorkel, and provide any help you need. During the snorkeling session, you can expect to see various species, including angelfish, blue-spotted rays, black snappers, groupers, red-toothed triggers, flounders, octopuses, leaf fish, scorpion fish, stone fish, frogfish, and numerous trevallies.

Plenty of bottled water will be available on the boat, so please remember to stay hydrated while swimming and snorkeling. Feel free to drink as much as you need.

If the tides permit, we may visit the sandbank, renowned for its crystal-clear waters and beautiful beaches, making it a perfect place to relax.

After snorkeling at the Mnemba Island reef, we will enjoy a delicious lunch that we have prepared on the dhow. The lunch includes rice, vegetable soup, tuna, chapati, salads, fruits (such as mango, pineapple, and bananas), and bottled water. We also offer vegetarian options.

After lunch, we will have some time to unwind and enjoy the surroundings before heading back to Nungwi Beach.
