Next, dive into the vibrant underwater world of Mnemba Reef for an unforgettable snorkeling experience.

Join us for a day filled with wonder and excitement as you explore the stunning beauty of Zanzibar's marine life!

The most amazing experience!

This was the most amazing tour! First off, we went swimming with dolphins. I had 7 dolphins swimming right in front of me at the same time! We were lucky to find the dolphins. Then we went snorkeling in the most beautiful water. Rashid let us stay as long as we wanted. He was very accommodating. Then we had the most delicious lunch in a beautiful beach setting. We then went to Kendwa Beach and finished up swimming with turtles at the turtle sanctuary. It was such an amazing day and we had the best time!

Everything is perfect

Hello, I am Ansogie from Belgium 🇧🇪 My husband, my two children, and I visited Mnemba Kendwa and the aquarium with Azur. Everything went very well, and we are very happy. It is a local business, but the service, the meal, everything was perfect. Thank you very much, Azur

Good island 🏝

We traveled with Azur Zanzibar Tours as a family of 3 and they made everything perfect. At Mnemba Island we got to swim with dolphins and we were surrounded by fish of every color - it felt like swimming inside a painting. Our baby was safe with the guides and life jackets, and had so much fun watching the fish. After swimming we had a delicious lunch with fresh seafood, right on land. Simple, tasty, and baby-friendly. Next stop was Baraka Aquarium. The highlight was swimming with sea turtles and feeding them - our little one couldn’t stop smiling. The staff were super patient and made sure it was safe and fun for kids. We finished the day walking on Kendwa Beach. Soft white sand and calm shallow water meant our baby could play safely while we relaxed. If you want a stress-free, family-friendly day with real memories, book Azur Zanzibar Tours. They think of every detail for parents with kids. Highly recommended!”

Amazing Mnemba Island, Baraka Aquarium and Kendwa Beach

"We had an unforgettable day exploring some of Zanzibar’s most beautiful attractions. The Mnemba Island snorkeling trip was absolutely incredible, with crystal-clear waters, colorful coral reefs, and plenty of tropical fish. We were even lucky enough to spot dolphins during the tour. Our visit to Baraka Aquarium was a unique experience. Feeding and swimming with the turtles was a highlight of the day and something we will never forget. We ended the tour at Kendwa Beach, one of the most stunning beaches in Zanzibar. The white sand, turquoise water, and relaxing atmosphere made it the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the island's beauty. Everything was well organized, the guide was professional and friendly, and the service exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Azur Zanzibar Tours & Safaris to anyone visiting Zanzibar. Thank you for an amazing experience!" Highly Recommended!
