Mnemba dolphin and Swimming with turtles Tour in Nungwi
Duration

Overview
This tour pairs the two animals most guests hope to meet in Zanzibar’s waters: wild dolphins and sea turtles. Head out early by boat to the waters off Mnemba Atoll to search for the resident pods of bottlenose and spinner dolphins, then move on to the calm, clear reef to snorkel alongside sea turtles grazing on the seabed all in one morning, with the crew’s local knowledge doing the finding for you.
Both encounters are with wild animals in their natural home, so the experience is never staged or guaranteed, which is exactly what makes it special. When the dolphins show up and a turtle glides past just below you, it’s the kind of morning guests talk about for the rest of the trip.

Tour Plan
Hotel pickup: very early morning Your driver collects you from your hotel. Dolphins are most active early in the day, so this tour starts earlier.
Boat departure Board your boat at the beach and head toward the waters off Mnemba Atoll, where the resident dolphin pods are most often found.
Dolphin search and swim: crew searches the water using their local knowledge of where pods gather. When dolphins are spotted, the boat is positioned carefully and, conditions and dolphin behaviour permitting, you may be invited into the water to swim alongside them. Some days the dolphins stay close for a while, other days sightings are brief.
Snorkelling with turtles: Transfer from the beach to the Aquarium for swimming with rurtle in Nungwi
