A private boat, so the morning runs at your pace rather than a group's.

The boat cruises for dolphins around the Mnemba conservation area and then stops to snorkel over the coral. On a low tide it runs to a sandbank instead, which is often the better half of the day.

Tropical fruit and drinks on board. Back at the hotel by early afternoon.

Worth knowing. Dolphins are wild animals. We take you where they are usually found and the guide does his best, but no one can promise a sighting. Guests are asked to keep their distance and follow the guide: this is the dolphins' habitat, not a display.
