Mnemba Island Full Day Dhow Snorkeling Trip with Drinks and Lunch

Begin your day on the soft white sands of Kendwa Beach, one of Zanzibar’s most beautiful shores. Meet your friendly crew and board a traditional wooden dhow for your full-day sailing adventure. As you leave the beach, enjoy stunning coastal views of the Zanzibar northern coastline.

The dhow sails along the Nungwi Beach coastline, a lively area with traditional fishing dhows and clear waters. Guests may spot wild dolphins along this scenic route.

Arrive at Mnemba Atoll, Zanzibar’s top protected marine reserve, for snorkeling among vibrant coral reefs and tropical fish. This stop is near Mnemba Island, a private island visible from the dhow. Snorkeling equipment can be rented at the departure point for $12 per person.

The dhow anchors in calm waters near Mnemba Island for a freshly cooked Swahili-style lunch on board, including mild vegetable curry, basmati rice, tropical fruit, and an open bar with beer, wine, soda, and bottled water.
