Swimming with dolphins - This was an unexpectedly fun experience. The dolphins are swimming around and many boats are circling about, trying to spot them. Once the dolphins are close, the captain will tell everyone it’s time to jump off, and you can try to get a good close up swim or video with them. Dolphins swim better than us, of course, so sometimes it’s just jumping into saltwater and seeing bubbles and other tourists. But the dolphins seem to be playing too, and will keep coming back. So we’d get back into the boat, and repeat until everyone is satisfied. Because we get in and out of the water repeatedly, it’s a bit tiring, and it’s hard to use flippers for this part (it takes time to get them on and off), but they always have them and life jackets if you want.
Snorkelling at Mnemba - A lot of different fish and corals here, and also a lot of people since it is a popular spot. The guide stays together with the group in the water, and will point out things we’d have missed ourselves, like eels and tiny jellyfish.
Sandbank - It was high tide when we went, so the water was up to the shoulders or neck. I’d spent enough time in the water by then, and we just enjoyed some freshly cut fruit on the boat there.
General - They have water, and seasickness pills just in case. For questions and coordinating pick up, the crew was responsive over both Viator and WhatsApp.

We spent a beautiful day near the island of Mnemba. Many dolphins came our way, then sorkeling among thousands of colorful fish and finally a delicious seafood lunch. I warmly recommend going with Mustafa, tel+255 623342133

The Pickup from the hotel was included and well organised. The trip itself was wonderful. Our team was incredibly friendly and helpful. Swimming with dolphins has always been a dream of mine - and now to actually do it, was a lifetime experience 🐬 They were so close. You could actually touch them!
Mnemba Island and Snorkeling was nice as well. It literally looks like a magazine come to life!!

This experience has been one of the highlights of my trip to Zanzibar! Swimming with dolphins was an incredible experience but also what made it special was the thoughtful crew! They went above and beyond to make sure we spot and swim with the dolphin. AliKwao and Captain Othman were GREAT!

Amazing experience. They knew just where to find the dolphins and made sure we got great views each time. Also very responsive when helping me arrange transport from stone town.

Great experience, the crew was patient with us and very educative. Def doing it again. Maybe they can teach everyone how to properly use the snorkelling gear before use because for first timers it can be a struggle

Disclaimer: If you're looking for a tour without a dolphin "hunt", without a lot of other boats and people on the sandbank, this might not be yout Tour and none of these tours will be!
We did the tour during the off-season and it was still quite busy. Luckily our guide was really chill and would wait till some boats were gone to swim with the dolphins. "Swimming" means more jumping in, when they were near and seeing them shortly. Still, it was a magical experience and the dolphins kept coming back, so they didn't seemed bothered.
The snorkeling was super nice, colorful fish, some corals - totally recommend!
The sandbank was busy but also very beautiful, the fruit was great!
In general the guides were nice and we felt welcomed and safe. The boat is not the most comfortable and feels quite small for the amount of people. But as all boats were the same this tour is definitely recommendable.
I would not have wanted to miss this experience and this tour in particular was worth the price.

This was a beautiful experience - We got to Swim with the dolphins by ourselves with not many boats around, the Snorkeling was stunning, and we really enjoyed the Sand Bank while munching on some delicious fresh cut-up fruits.
The Super Captain and Guide were very professional and helpful
Be Aware: The sun is Super strong, so come prepared!
