Mnemba Island Snorkelling Experience

  • Meet your tour guide at the agreed-upon location in Zanzibar and begin your tour to Mnemba Island, a small private island that is part of the Zanzibar Archipelago. This beautiful island is a marine conservation area surrounded by an oval reef and is a paradise for snorkelling and scuba diving.
  • Discover a wide variety of corals and related species, as well as sea turtles and dolphins. Visitation to the island, with its 200-meter exclusion zone, is restricted to guests only, so it remains very private.
  • Relish excellent fresh seafood with beautiful views of white sand beaches. Mnemba is considered one of the top beaches in the world, with turquoise waters, and is the ultimate in beach luxury.
  • Snorkel right off the beach onto the pristine reef. The marine reserve contains four different habitats, which are home to many Indian Ocean animals such as:
  • Green turtles, whale sharks, humpback whales, three unique species of dolphin, many local and migratory shorebirds, and hundreds of reef fish species.
