I’ve Been on 107 Scuba Dives Around the World—and These Are My Favorites

"Of all the colorful coral reefs I’ve seen, the ones off the coast of Zanzibar in the Indian Ocean stood out the most: bright hues, superior visibility, and an abundance of tropical fish. Mnemba Atoll is a tiny island a few miles from Unguja, the largest island in the Zanzibar archipelago." - Erik Trinidad

It’s very rough way to the snorkeling area and the boats are not suitable enough. Be careful as there are many boats in the same area and i saw many people got hurt and injured by the boats because most of the ones driving the boats are not professional nor trained enough to handle this more of crowd and they don’t pay enough attention of the way if there are people snorkeling. I also was skeptical about chasing the dolphins i don’t feel they like being chased by this many boats with high sound of engines! I understand they are encouraging tourism but they are destroying the natural environment of the dolphins and only care about the money without setting strict standards and protocols in order to keep the dolphins habitat safe and protected!

Beautiful, Extraordinary and Splendid. This place is heaven, took Dolphins and Snorkeling tour in Mnemba Island, where we were taken on a boat in the early morning to swim with dolphins and it was an amazing experience to swim with Dolphins and Whale Shark, then went to snorkeling at the public snorkeling spot where we were able to snorkeling and collect Starfish and watch colorful small fish. The color of the ocean alone made us speechless and didn’t want gaze away for the view, the tour lasted 4 hours in total, make sure you take along your snorkeling equipment and diving flipper if you want to swim with the Dolphins although they provide the equipment at the shore. Make sure you have anti jellyfish cream or spray on or get a full body diving suit to avoid jellyfish stings in some spots.

The island itself is private with very expensive fees for entrance, but you can stop with the boat nearby and enjoy the coral reef and its beautiful underwater life. It’s also quite easy to spot dolphins 🐬 Unfortunately the area gets quickly crowded with boats of tourists, so I suggest to plan the trip wisely in quiet hours.

Expensive but worth every penny! The best island vacation we have ever experienced. Have full PADI dive certifications available on site as well that is included in the price I believe.
