Description

Discover the underwater world of Zanzibar on a snorkeling trip to Tumbatu Island. Admire the colorful coral reefs and tropical fish in the clear waters of the Indian Ocean.
Go snorkeling above colorful reefs and see an abundance of corals and tropical fish in Zanzibar's beautiful clear waters at Tumbatu Island. Keep a lookout for turtles relaxing on the reef.

Get a truly unique view of the Zanzibar sunset whilst cruising on a traditional wooden Dhow. Embark on an evening tour that will introduce you to Zanzibar's rich landscape, traditional delicacies, and music.

Start your adventure with a convenient pickup from your accommodation. After a short drive, board your traditional dhow and discover the a history rooted in the Arab and Indian merchants that began exploring East Africa many centuries ago.

Sip on a refreshing drink and take in the breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean, while the gentle sway of the boat and the sound of the waves are lapping against the hull.

On the west side of the islands is an amazing reef, where you can enjoy one of the best snorkelling spots you can find around Unguja. On the boat, the crew will serve you fruit and soft drinks between your snorkelling sessions. The best time to go is around low tide, so you will snorkel just above the most colorful reef, and try to spot a wide variety of tropical fish, and when you are lucky, even a turtle relaxing at the reef.
