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!”
