Zanzibar Boat Trips & Snorkeling
Most of Zanzibar's best days out happen on the water. Snorkel the protected reef at Mnemba, sail a traditional dhow through Menai Bay, meet the giant tortoises of Prison Island, or spend a few hours on a sandbank that only appears at low tide. We plan each trip around the tide and the sea, and every trip is private: your own boat and crew.
