Review of the $50 Mnemba boat trip from Nungwi, with dolphin watching, reef snorkeling, a sandbank stop, costs, tips, and drawbacks.
“Experiencia nefasta. No la contraten. La excursión comenzó una hora después de lo previsto (a las 9 hs). El transporte en el que se realizó es un bote muy precario, sin medidas de Seguridad mínima. No nos permitieron bajar a nadar con los delfines, solo avistarlos 5 minutos. Los guías no hablaban español, siendo que la actividad era en español. Las bebidas incluidas eran botellas de agua.”
Review of Zanzibar’s Mnemba snorkeling tour, with reef time, dolphin spotting, boat transfers, costs, tips, and honest drawbacks.
“Très bonne prise en charge du taxi, guide sympa. En revanche, énormément de bateaux sur le site de snorkeling, les coraux sont morts et les poissons sont tristement nourris aux bouts de pain. Nous n’avons pas pu voir de dauphins car il y avait trop de vent et de vagues. Finalement, une concentration beaucoup trop importante de touristes sur des zones très restreintes gâche l’expérience globale, sans compter le désastre écologique.”
