From Kendwa: Mnemba Boat Trip and Dolphin Snorkel Adventure - Leaving Mama Mia and searching for dolphins

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 1,043 reviews · 4 hours · from $50Our pick

Swim with dolphins, snorkel Mnemba Atoll, and enjoy fresh fruit on a four-hour boat trip from Kendwa for $50.

“The tour was simply amazing. We swam with many dolphins, and it was an unforgettable experience. What we really appreciated was that the dolphins were not chased. Sometimes we were completely alone with them in the open sea, which felt very special and respectful. The driver and the guide were incredibly kind and friendly. We also enjoyed delicious fresh fruit on the sandbank. There was enough time for snorkeling around Mnemba Island, and we never felt rushed. We highly recommend this tour!”

“Overall, we enjoyed the outing. It was fun and good value for money. A few things, though: Getting back into the boat from the water was VERY difficult for some of us.

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 54 reviews · from $100

Explore Mnemba Island’s coral reefs on a private Zanzibar boat trip with hotel pickup, snorkeling, tropical fruit, and possible dolphin sightings.

“The island and surrounding waters are amazing no doubt, the water is so clear and a must see. Where the let down was is the value in money as the price is quite high for what’s involved. It was also disappointing that our guides didn’t really prepare well in having the correct flipper size for me (US 10/11) couldn’t speak much English and generally didn’t put in much effort to make the experience live up to its potential.”
