Mnemba Island
The experience begins at 9:30 AM with a relaxing 1.5–2 hour dhow cruise from Nungwi/Kendwa towards Mnemba Island. Enjoy snacks, soft drinks and ocean views along the way, with possible dolphin spotting depending on sea conditions. At Mnemba Island, spend approximately 4 hours snorkeling, swimming and relaxing in the crystal-clear turquoise waters. Depending on the tides, we visit a beautiful sandbank or Blue Lagoon, and enjoy a freshly prepared seafood BBQ lunch on board. Around 4:00 PM, we raise the sails and begin the peaceful 1.5–2 hour journey back towards Nungwi/Kendwa. As we approach the coast, we stop to enjoy the sunset from the boat with fresh tropical fruit before the experience ends.
