Full-Day Safari Blue Adventure in Zanzibar

  • Leave after breakfast and head towards the far west of Zanzibar for a day of adventure with Menai Bay's dolphins, sandbanks, and coral reefs in the conservation area off Fumba village.
  • You will be given a life jacket demonstration and a briefing on the day's excursion. You will then board the dhows and search for the dolphins (85% chance). The species frequently found at Menai Bay are Spinner and Bottlenose dolphins. You will be able to swim with the dolphins as long as they stay close to the boat, but it is unlikely that you will be able to touch them, as they are, of course, wild animals.
  • Continue to one of the selected snorkelling locations. Here, you will snorkel while accompanied by a snorkelling guide, who will show you points of interest and assist beginners. Snorkelling equipment will be provided.
  • Move on to another island or sandbank for lunch. Lunch is a traditional Zanzibar meal and typically includes a selection of BBQ fish, rice, lentils, and fish curry. Chilled fresh fruit juice, mineral water, and bottled soft drinks are available throughout the day.
  • Spend the remainder of the afternoon relaxing, swimming, or snorkelling.

If winds permit, return to Fumba by sail and transfer back to your hotel.
