Description
Snorkel the clear waters of Pungume Island, relax on a sandbank, and enjoy a fresh seafood lunch by the sea. Includes hotel transfers for a perfect day in Zanzibar.
Begin the day with a scenic drive from your hotel to the southern coast of Zanzibar, where the quiet fishing village of Kizimkazi welcomes you. Board a traditional dhow or motorboat and set sail across the turquoise waters toward Pungume Island. Along the way, take in the breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean and keep an eye out for playful dolphins. Upon arrival, dive into the vibrant underwater world, snorkeling among colorful coral reefs, tropical fish, and possibly sea turtles.
After the snorkeling session, head to a remote white sandbank surrounded by crystal-clear water. Here, unwind under the sun, take a refreshing swim, or stroll along the sand in complete serenity. A freshly prepared seafood lunch will be served right on the sandbank, offering a true taste of Zanzibar with grilled fish, octopus, and seasonal fruits.
Spend time relaxing, taking photos, and soaking in the peaceful surroundings before the boat returns you to Kizimkazi. End the day with a smooth ride back to your hotel, filled with unforgettable memories of the sea, sun, and Zanzibar’s natural beauty.
