Good snorkeling, pay attention to starting point - We really enjoyed this experience - the boat was cute and felt authentic (but no bathrooms), the snorkeling was good and the lunch was excellent.
The only word of warning is that travelers pay close attention to the pickup location, as this tour’s starting point was at least an hour from Mnemba island, which is fine if you are staying near the pickup point but didn’t really make sense for us.

This was a fun all day... - This was a fun all day adventure on a reel Tanzanian dhow. The crew was helpful and considerate karma the sea was crystal clear and bright turquoise. We spent time snorkeling at two different spots and they made us a grilled fish, rice and vegetables for lunch right there on the ship. Then they cut up fruit and had platters of fruit to pass around for everyone for our return sailing. This was truly an original experience.

Fab day - I would definitely recommend this trip but we went on the excursion during a windy day. I do think this should have been cancelled due to the weather conditions as the sea was very choppy. However, swimming with the sea life definitely made up for this. I would just recommend to ensure you do this trip on a calm day:)

Well worth doing - Ali and the crew looked after well.
The water was clear and warm. Quite a few fish to be seen. The food which was cooked on board was much needed after the Snorkeling.

quite nice trip - It was nice activity. But tourguilde came late in 20 minutes. So he didnt tell sorry for his late. Trip with ship was nice we so delphines. I had luck to jump to wather to them. Snorcheling shoes was quite old a overused, it needs some new one. And for snorcheling we had no too much time, like 45 minutes. Id like snorcheling more, maybe if that guy will come on time, I can enjoy minimum 1 hour snorcheling.

Not recommended - Attention !!!
In itself a nice advertised tour, but it was more of a dolphin hunt, which was very bad to watch.
The dolphins were totally stressed by the many engines and screaming humans. They were encircled by the boats so they could not escape ..
People jumped on the dolphins or swam after them in panic,
That was so sad to watch, and certainly not animal-friendly !!!
Much time for snorkeling and diving was not left here..
We had felt very bad supporting such a thing with our money.
Please inform in advance !

Scam - The information provided for the meeting point is incorrect, the restaurant in question does not exist. The planned day turned into a few hours with swimming dolphins (well they were not there that morning...) snorkeling 5 min on 1 rock... and no lunch on the beach, in short....

Mnemba - I booked this excursion thinking of being with Boss Down, in fact I had seen a report on TV presenting an eco-responsible excursion in respect of animals and with access to the island of Mnemba
In the end we stayed on the boat the whole time, we saw dolphins in a concentration of motor boats which chased the dolphins to allow tourists to see them and swim with them
In short, the opposite of expectations
Concerning the island we saw it from afar while I thought I could go there
The only positive point is the snorkling moment but in the middle of 30 boats
Brief, horrible excursion compared to my expectations

Scam - We've been fooled. We paid 52€ per person and it was indicated that the cruise would last 6-7h. It only lasted 4 hours (9am-1pm). It was also indicated that we would have lunch included (chapati, rice, tuna and fruit). We only had 3 unfortunate little pieces of pineapple and watermelon. Snorkelling isn't exactly exceptional either. Far too expensive for what it is and above all, the services included in the service do not match at all.
