We are lucky enough to see dolphins on at least 85% of our Zanzibar Dolphin Spotting Snorkeling Safari Blue Day Tour. Later in the morning, we stop on the Kwale sandbank where we set up sunshades and fit the clients with snorkeling equipment.

We have a large range of sizes and good quality equipment. Guides, who can safely lead the snorkeling session and show points of interest, accompany you. For beginners or those who are not confident swimmers, we have inflatable snorkelling vests and our guides can give tuition.

After snorkeling, we offer fresh green coconuts before we move to our desert island restaurant for lunch. During the morning our catering boat has gone on ahead to prepare a delicious barbecue lunch, which is served on teak picnic tables set up beneath the shade of some tamarind trees.

1230 Hours: Lunch is a traditional Zanzibar buffet and includes grilled fish, slipper lobster, squid, chicken, rice, tamarind, and coriander sauces which are all served hot from the grill. A gastronomic fruit tasting follows with a selection of 10 to 15 different tropical fruits. Cold drinks are available throughout the day and include mineral water, sodas, and beer.

Coffee and Amarula liqueur are also served after lunch. Later, we also offer the chance to sail in a “ngalawa” with our experienced crew. When the tide allows we visit a beautiful mangrove lagoon where it is possible to swim through the mangrove forest.
