2.From Nungwi : Mnemba Boat Trip and Dolphin Snorkel Adventure

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 39 reviews · 4 hours · from $50

Set out from Nungwi or Kendwa at 9:00 for a four-hour boat trip to dolphin waters and the Mnemba conservation area. You will snorkel over coral reefs, pause at a disappearing sandbank if the tide allows, and receive fruit, soft drinks, gear, and an English-speaking guide.

“Experiencia nefasta. No la contraten. La excursión comenzó una hora después de lo previsto (a las 9 hs). El transporte en el que se realizó es un bote muy precario, sin medidas de Seguridad mínima. No nos permitieron bajar a nadar con los delfines, solo avistarlos 5 minutos. Los guías no hablaban español, siendo que la actividad era en español. Las bebidas incluidas eran botellas de agua.”
