Amazing half day trip with kids in peaceful paradise with great snorkeling - We had an amazing half day tour to Tumbatu island with the Zanzibar Dhow Team and our family. Since we have small kids we wanted a shorter trip with good snorkeling and found this to be the perfect trip for us. Lots of fun sailing on the amazing Dhow boat and such a kind and amazing team on board that made our little ones feel like captains for the day. Can't recommend this highly enough and will for sure come back.
