Description

Your journey begins as you set sail across the turquoise waters of the Menai Bay Conservation Area, a protected marine zone known for its stunning beauty and rich biodiversity.

Feel like a true island explorer as you uncover the hidden beauty of these untouched landscapes. Take a moment to unwind and enjoy birdwatching on the sandbank, where graceful seabirds soar overhead in a tranquil tropical setting.

The tour was very well organized from transfer to snorkeling everything worked out great. The driver was on time and told me a lot about the island and the boat tour was exactly as described. The last snorkel stop I liked the most, there were a lot of fish to see.

Day Trip from Fumbe to Kwale Needs Improvement

Dhau Tour from Fumbe to Sandbank and Kwale. Downhill at low tide in mud only waist-high water with dinghy possible. Not recommended for physical limitations! Sandbar overflowing, but beautiful snorkel spot with many clownfish and starfish of all colors and sizes. 2. Snorkel spot very currenty. Kwale Island with well organized delicious seafood buffet. Hidden bay unfortunately only briefly navigable at high tide, therefore unfortunately not another snorkel spot. Return journey from Kwale under sail ended very suddenly, as a fastening of the rudder broke out. Hectic hauling in of the sail in quite strong wind and swell.. Exit catastrophically due to the flood again in waist-high water without a jetty very slippery. then we passed garbage dumps and a ruin through bushes to the road where the drivers were waiting for us luckily. Crew very anxious but there is significant need for improvement regarding the departure/return and the condition of the boats.

The best Experience ever ever 👏👏

“I experienced the Blue Safari today, and it was the most beautiful experience ever. It was well-organized, the people were so kind, and everything was perfectly on time. The driver was great, and the entire team was attentive to our safety. The lunch was delicious—everything was just perfect! I highly recommend it. Please, no other agents—only this one! If you do a Blue Safari or some other things make sure it’s with them.”

Wonderful

We were picked up at our hotel on time and at no additional fee. Our driver Beka was super friendly and pleasant. To questions about nature and general nature he answered extensively, it was nice to chat with him, without the often typical here flutter. The excursion was well organized and we lacked nothing. We got fins even before entering the boat, on the boat then the masks. The group size on the boats varies, there were 10 of us, which was fully fine. The boat was clean. On the boat there was a coconut for everyone at the beginning, which you could still hand over to the staff after drinking, so that they would trigger the pulp. The snorkel spots were beautiful, lots of colorful fish. Unfortunately, many corals have died (climate change). The operator can't help it, but it would be good if visitors were advised that you shouldn't stand on the reefs, as then more breaks (none of our group did, but others did occasionally). You can save the stop on the sandbar, a lot of boats there and you can't do much. But I guess it's part of it. After that we had fresh fruit, very delicious. The best mango we've ever had. Second snorkel stop, nicer than the 1st. A lot of fish, sea urchins and partly hand-sized and almost fake-looking starfish in different colors. Lunch is then served on the island, before briefly viewing the island's largest tree. There are a lot of stalls on the way, but we weren’t approached much. Our guide also did not seem to be looking to hand us over to the sellers, very pleasant :D The food was right on the beach in a large shelter. Very delicious seafood buffet directly from the grill. Lobster, shrimp, tuna, chicken, squid and side dishes such as fries and rice. Plus all the drinks. Only the tuna did not taste so good to us, it was unfortunately quite overcooked and very dry. Rest was TOP ! Last stop was the Blue Lagoon, a large natural pool surrounded by rocks, mangroves and trees. Here we would have liked to spend even more time to explore the area even more. We would have loved to explore the mainland and mangrove forests on foot from there. Looks like a pirate movie :D Return trip was cool as the crew set up the mast and hoisted the sail. So the return journey was very quiet and relaxing, perfect ! The whole crew was good and friendly, was a lot of fun.

Wir nehmen Ihre Anmerkungen bezüglich der Korallen und der Sandbank gerne zur Kenntnis und werden darauf achten, künftige Gäste besser darauf hinzuweisen, wie sie sich respektvoll in der Natur verhalten können. Es freut uns auch, dass Sie die entspannte Rückfahrt mit dem Segelboot und die gesamte Atmosphäre an Bord genossen haben. Ihre positive Rückmeldung zu unserem Team und der Reiseplanung ist für uns sehr wertvoll. Wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder in Zanzibar begrüßen zu dürfen, um weitere unvergessliche Erlebnisse zu teilen!
