“Our day trip in Zanzibar exceeded all expectations! Our tour guide Omar was absolutely fantastic - energetic, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to making sure we had the perfect experience. He kept reminding us “it’s YOUR holiday!” and tailored everything to what we wanted to do. The snorkeling stops were incredible - we saw beautiful starfish and vibrant tropical fish in the most stunning turquoise water imaginable. We had plenty of time for snorkeling, swimming, and relaxing on the beach. The water was absolutely breathtaking! Throughout the day, we enjoyed fresh tropical fruit (as much as we wanted!) and a delicious seafood lunch. We even had time for some shopping before…”

10.From Nungwi: Safari Blue Snorkeling Tour with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★3.3 · 13 reviews · 9 hours · from $85

Spend about nine hours sailing from Fumba through Menai Bay, with sandbank swims, coral reef snorkeling, lagoons, mangroves, and a seafood barbecue on Kwale Island. Hotel pickup, gear, drinks, and multilingual guiding are included, though stop times and guide language can vary.

“Disappointing experience – not worth the money The trip felt rushed and poorly organized. We spent most of the time on the boat rather than enjoying the locations. The “natural pool” stop lasted barely 10 minutes, and the supposed 1-hour island stop ended up being just 30–35 minutes with minimal time to swim or relax. The snorkelling was short and uncomfortable – the equipment was unhygienic, and plankton in the water made it hard to stay in. Lunch was average, with only 10 minutes to explore afterwards. Overall, it was a waste of time and money – I wouldn’t recommend it.”
