Description

Enjoy a unique experience in Nungwi, where you can swim in a natural sea-water lagoon fed by underground streams, Relax and feed turtles, and even swim alongside them in this beautiful environment.
This newly discovered turtle lagoon in Nungwi is a hidden gem for nature lovers. Nestled in a quiet corner of the village, it features a natural coral pool fed by fresh ocean water through underground streams, keeping the environment clean and ideal for sea turtles. The lagoon is part of a growing conservation effort and offers a more relaxed alternative to the busier aquariums nearby, making it less crowded and more peaceful.

Here, visitors can swim with rescued green and hawksbill turtles, feed them seaweed, and learn how local communities are working to protect these endangered animals. The turtles are often recovering from injuries or fishing net entanglements before being released back into the wild. It’s not just a fun experience, but also an educational one that supports marine conservation in Zanzibar. The calm, clear waters and natural setting make it suitable for all ages, and the overall atmosphere is serene and respectful of the animals—perfect for a half-day visit.
