Caotic organisation and expensive

Don't ever do this tour. Terrible experience. All boats going the same place at the same time, snorkeling for 20 min in 5 square meters work people during other boats kiking you with their fins from all sides, equipment in bad conditions, water and foggy glasses...a lot of hanging about in a lagoon really hot, only one snorkeling site for a very short time with all boats... The ocean is so big, the reefs too...why...terrible chaotic organisation. We are some pawns, that was nice but I had a bad tummy for two days. And if your girl is north of the island 2h to get to pet and 2h back. The best part of this tour was our driver, he was a great experienced driver, and stopped over at Some town for us to get money at an ATM before heading back, and got some cinnamon sticks for us from the market in the mean time

Operator response

Dear [Reviewer], Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the experience you had on this tour. It is disappointing to hear that the snorkeling and overall organization did not meet your expectations, and we understand how frustrating it must have been to feel like just another number in a crowded setting. Your feedback about the equipment, the duration of snorkeling, and the crowded conditions is deeply concerning. We aim to provide memorable and enjoyable experiences, and it’s clear we fell short in this instance. Rest assured, we will review these issues with our team and partners to make the necessary improvements. We’re pleased to hear that your driver provided excellent service and went the extra mile to enhance your journey. We will ensure this feedback is passed along to recognize their efforts. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. If you decide to explore Zanzibar again, we’d love the opportunity to recommend or arrange a more tailored experience for you that highlights the beauty of the ocean without the crowds. Best regards, Pongwe Tours Team .

Nice trip, really worth it!

Nice tour! Very rewarding. Take the boat to sandbar, snorkel and to tropical island. With delicious bbq and drinks. Everything well taken care of on board (fresh fruit and drinks). And on the way back sail back. And if you're lucky, like us, you'll see dolphins too. They're really taking the time to stick with this, too.

Operator response

“Bedankt voor je mooie woorden! Wat fijn om te horen dat je hebt genoten van de tour naar de zandbank, het snorkelen, en het tropische eiland. We zijn blij dat de BBQ, drankjes, en verse hapjes aan boord in de smaak vielen. Terugzeilen is altijd een ontspannen afsluiter, en wat een geluk dat je ook dolfijnen hebt gezien! We nemen inderdaad graag de tijd om deze bijzondere momenten te delen. Hopelijk mogen we je in de toekomst nog eens verwelkomen voor meer mooie ervaringen!” Pongwe Tours !

Extra dhow ride

Great day on a dhow. We start with snorkeling followed by a barbecue on a small island with extraordinary grilled seafood, particularly sea cicadas and prawns. We then leave to explore the lagoon and a place with lots of magnificent little coral islets where we taste many fruits: pineapples, bananas, sugar cane, baobab fruit, etc. Finally, to finish, back to sailing. The crew is very attentive. They are good sailors, especially sailing.

Our snorkel and beach...

Our snorkel and beach excursion was an absolute blast! The crystal-clear waters teeming with vibrant marine life provided an unforgettable snorkeling experience. The crew was knowledgeable and attentive, ensuring everyone's safety and enjoyment in the water. After working up an appetite, we were treated to a delicious lunch, freshly prepared and served with a side of stunning ocean views. It was the perfect combination of adventure and relaxation. Highly recommend this excursion to anyone looking for an unforgettable day on the water!
