Review of Zanzibar’s Mnemba dolphin swim and snorkeling tour, with reef tips, ethics, transport details, lunch value, and advice on who should book.

“We had a great day, the captain met us and looked after us from the minute we arrived. Made sure we were smiling and was non stop fun for the whole trip. He made sure we were in the water at every opportunity to swim alongside the dolphins. He also made sure he kept us all together and safely got us back to our boat every time, there were a lot of boats around so this wasn’t always easy. We saw a dolphin right next to our boat which we followed for a while, we then had lots of time to go snorkelling where he told us about all the…”

6.Snorkel Mnemba’s Reefs & Swim with Dolphins Adventure

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 36 reviews · 3 - 5 hours · from $40

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.”

8.Swimming with Dolphins and Snorkeling Private Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 17 reviews · 3 hours · from $120

Review of Zanzibar’s private dolphin swim and snorkeling tour, with boat details, coral reefs, price advice, timing, and practical booking tips.

“Die Tour war an für gut und interessant. Da es sich um eine Touristenattraktion handelt, ist der Andrang besonders groß, sodass alle 20-30 Boote gleichzeitig auf die Delfine stürmen, sobald diese sich an der Wasseroberfläche zeigen. Es wird das Gefühl einer Treibjagd erweckt. Sollte man dennoch Interesse an der Tour haben, würden wir empfehlen diese vor Ort im Hotel zu buchen, da es über Get your Guide doppelt so teuer ist. Dies gilt auf für alle anderen Aktivitäten. Die Prisonislandtour war sogar fast 3-mal so teuer im Vergleich zur vor Ort Buchung. Wir würden Get your Guide nicht nochmal verwenden.”

Review of Kizimkazi dolphin swimming in Zanzibar, with route details, price, wildlife ethics, equipment tips, and honest booking advice.

“I am disappointed, the mask they provided broke and I wasnt able to swim with any dolphine, this experience is called swimming with dolphins and I didnt get that due to their faulty equipment. I tried to explain to Mohammed, and ask if they can drive us to Salaam cave for free as a compensation. Salaam cave is a 10mins drive from where the dolphins are. We said we will pay for the entrance, just feel fair that at least they offer a free ride. However, he continued to wanna rip us off by first saying an extra 40-50 to drive to Salaam cave and wait for one hour (Salaam…”
