Mnemba Island Private Tour
- Day trip
- Private
- About 4.5 hours
- Zanzibar and the Coast, Tanzania
Overview
Mnemba atoll, off the north-east corner of Unguja, holds the most accessible good reef on the island. This is a private boat, so the timing is yours.
The morning is spent cruising for dolphins and then snorkelling over the coral around the conservation area. Dolphins are wild animals and are seen often rather than always; on a low tide the boat runs to a sandbank instead.
Tropical fruit and drinks are served on board. You are back at your hotel in time for the afternoon.
Worth knowing. Dolphins are wild. We take you to the places they are usually found and the guide does what he can, but no operator can promise you will see them, and none should. Guests are asked to keep their distance and follow the guide.

Getting there and what to know
Pickup and meeting point
Boats leave from the north-east coast. Tell us where you are staying and we will confirm the pickup time and quote the transfer if you need one.
What we will advise you on
Send your dates and group size and we answer all four in the itinerary we send back.
The best months for this trip
Wildlife, rainfall and crowds change month by month, and the right answer is different for a migration trip than for a beach week. We will tell you what your dates mean for what you will see.
Weather and what to pack
Temperature, rain and altitude across the parks on your route, and a packing list for the season you are travelling in rather than a generic one.
Flights and how to get here
Which airport to fly into, whether to drive or fly between parks, and how the internal legs fit together. We will say when flying is worth it and when it is not.
Choosing the right lodges
What each lodge or camp is actually like, how far it sits from the gate, and what the difference between the budget, mid-range and luxury options buys you.
