Dar-es-salaam 1 Day Tour - Bongoyo Island Day Trip

Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, is located right along the Indian Ocean, and one of the closest swimming beaches, which happens to be an island called Bongoyo Island. Visiting the small island in the marine reserve is one of the top things to do in Dar Es Salaam on a day trip. Bongoyo Island is situated 2.5 km north of the country’s largest city, Dar es Salaam. This abandoned island is a popular destination for those seeking peace, unspoiled nature, sunbathing, swimming beaches, and beautiful snorkeling sites. The island lies close to the Msasani Peninsula and is reachable using a 30-minute boat ride from the mainland.

We pick you up from your hotel/ residence in Dar-es-salaam and transfer you to the Slipway shopping center on the western side of the Msasani Peninsula. Our boat departs the mainland and sails to Bongoyo Island. The ride takes about 30 minutes. Usually, the boat departs with 4 or more people. The ride in the morning on the boat ride can get splashy so remember to take some plastic/ waterproof bag to keep your valuables dry. The afternoon boat ride can be a bit choppy.

As soon as you arrive you will place your lunch order. There are several seafood items normally available, but be sure to ask which ones are available on that particular day (because typically not everything is available each day). The beach at Bongoyo island is a good little escape from the city of Dar-es-salaam, and it’s easy to get there.

Lunch is served at about 1300 Hours: There is a hut for lunch. You can also eat at your Banda (little huts with shade) with a view of the ocean. Also, you can bring your food and beverages so you don’t have to purchase anything once you’re on Bongoyo Island.

Relaxing under a shaded Banda, taking a dip in the sea, snorkeling, hiking, and exploring are delightful activities that visitors can engage in on Bongoyo Island. Weekends can be busy, but if you go on a weekday, the island should be nice and quiet.
