Set out from Nungwi or Muyuni for a 3.5 to 6-hour boat trip to Mnemba Atoll. You’ll look for bottlenose and humpback dolphins, snorkel with a guide, eat fresh fruit, and add lunch if desired. Private trips can offer a calmer pace and more respectful dolphin viewing.
“we spent a very good time with them! è stato tutto molto bello, Fazhil è una guida attenta, disponibile e rispettoso verso gli ospiti, la natura e gli animali. Sempre sorridente ci ha spiegato e raccontato ogni cosa grazie ancora Fazhil. Grazie anche al mitico captain Philip, ci siamo immersi con i delfini e nuotato con loro rispettandoli e senza infastidirli! the best”
