- Mnemba - Once prepared, the cruise will set off from Nungwi to Mnemba Island. Along the way, there is an 85% chance of spotting dolphins. The cruise will pause to allow guests to enjoy watching the dolphins swim and capture photos and videos.
After observing the dolphins, the journey continues to the Mnemba Island reef for snorkeling. For those who are not confident swimmers, an instructor will assist with lifejackets, provide snorkeling guidance, and offer all necessary support.
If the sandbank is accessible (depending on the tides), there may be an opportunity to visit. The water surrounding the sandbank is exceptionally clear and pristine, making it one of the most beautiful beaches in Zanzibar and an ideal spot for relaxation.
- Muyuni Beach - Following snorkeling at the Mnemba Island reef, lunch will be served either at Muyuni Beach (North East Coast), the sandbank, or Mnemba reef (Mnemba Atoll).
The lunch menu includes rice, vegetable soup, tuna fish, chapati, salads, fruits (such as mango, pineapple, bananas, etc.), and bottled water. There is also a vegetarian option available. As this is a private tour, the lunch can be customized upon request, and a seafood buffet can be arranged at an additional cost.
The meal will be freshly prepared during the trip, allowing guests to watch it being cooked and enjoy it while it’s hot and fresh.
- Nungwi Beach - After lunch, there will be time to relax and enjoy the surroundings before returning to Nungwi Beach, where guests will be transported back to their hotel or accommodation.
