Chumbe Island Coral Park Nature and Snorkelling Tour
Meet your tour guide at the agreed-upon location in Zanzibar and visit Chumbe Island Coral Park, a well-known private nature reserve that is ideal for nature enthusiasts touring Zanzibar. The beautiful private island of Chumbe lies off the Zanzibar coast and is lined with quiet, pristine beaches, surrounded by a protected coral reef. It is one of the last pristine coral islands in the region.
See coconut crabs, green turtles, sharks, or even humpback whales. The park includes a coral reef sanctuary, a forest reserve, an education centre, and an ecolodge. Designed for zero impact on the environment, the education centre and lodge were sustainably built with rainwater harvesting, solar water heating, and composting toilets. Fostering community development and cultural stewardship, local fishermen are trained as park rangers. The Chumbe Environmental Education program provides free island excursions to children, teachers, and community groups.
Start the tour at Mbweni Beach, where your guide will take you to the island by boat.
Snorkel, swim, and walk through the park during your visit.
