For ocean lovers, snorkelers, and adventure seekers, Maziwe Island is a must-visit hidden gem along Tanzania’s coastline.
Just offshore from Tanga, this unique sandbank appears and disappears with the tides, revealing soft white sand and crystal-clear turquoise waters—a true natural spectacle.
Part of the protected Maziwe Marine Reserve, the island offers vibrant coral reefs and incredible snorkeling. Discover colorful tropical fish, starfish, and sometimes sea turtles in warm, clear waters.
Spend the day snorkeling, swimming, walking the sandbank, or simply soaking up the sun surrounded by endless ocean views.
After the adventure, enjoy an overnight stay in Tanga, a relaxed coastal town full of Swahili charm and fresh seafood.
The next day, return to Nungwi by fiber speedboat, crossing the Indian Ocean with scenic views of Zanzibar’s northern beaches.
Embark on this unforgettable coastal adventure and discover the magic of Maziwe Island!
