Experience the pristine waters around Zanzibar during this guided snorkelling tour to Menai Bay Conservation Area and Kwale Island. The adventure begins with a pick-up from your hotel and a drive to Fumba, where your vessel for the day – a traditional wooden dhow boat – will be waiting.

Once aboard, you'll set sail to your first destination, Menai Bay Conservation Area - Zanzibar's largest protected marine reserve spanning over 470 square kilometres. As you journey to one of the area's lagoons, your guide will share information about this important ecological zone.

Upon arrival, you'll don a mask and snorkel before diving into the vibrant underwater world. The marine environment offers spectacular sights including sandbanks, coral reefs and schools of colourful tropical fish. After your snorkelling adventure, you'll have time to relax on land before continuing to Kwale Island.

When you dock at Kwale Island, a delicious lunch awaits featuring fresh locally-caught seafood alongside tropical fruits and other Zanzibari specialities, all served in a beachside setting. After your meal, there’s more time for you to stretch out and unwind before starting the journey back.
