Tour Overview
We start the trip at 09:00 depending on tide. While sailing on the way to Mnemba, there is a high chance to spot and see dolphins and you are free to jump in and swim with them.
When we reach Mnemba, you can start snorkeling since Mnemba has the most clear water on the island — you will see the beautiful corals and around a lot of colorful fishes while we prepare the food for you (seafood & chicken BBQ). Water and soft drinks are included and will be provided.
If the tide is low before sailing back, we can go to the sandbank and you can enjoy the sandbank there. When we are done, we will start sailing back slowly to Kendwa. On the way, we will enjoy tropical fruits and beautiful coconuts while watching the sunsets on the beach.
