Itinerary and highlights

Your first stop is Matemwe, a picturesque beach on the northeastern coast of Zanzibar. From here, you'll embark on a scenic boat ride to Mnemba Island, a true paradise for snorkelers, divers, and beach lovers alike. Upon arrival, you'll enjoy:

Snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters surrounding the island, exploring vibrant coral reefs, tropical fish, and, if you're lucky, encountering sea turtles and dolphins.
Beach Time: Relax on the private, unspoiled white sand beaches, take a swim in the warm, shallow waters, or simply soak in the serene atmosphere of this exclusive island.
Optional Scuba Diving: For certified divers, experience world-class diving at one of Zanzibar's top dive sites with experienced instructors.

Next, you’ll head to the Baraka Aquarium, located in Nungwi. Here, you’ll learn about the island’s marine conservation efforts while getting up close with the turtles. You can:
• Interact with the Turtles: Watch and feed the rehabilitated sea turtles in the sanctuary.
• Snorkeling with Turtles: If you wish, you can snorkel in the clear, warm waters where the turtles live, offering a memorable and intimate experience with these magnificent creatures.
• Learn About Conservation: Your guide will share the story of the turtles' rehabilitation and the important conservation work happening at Baraka Aquarium.

Finish the day with a traditional dhow cruise. As the sun begins to set, you’ll embark on a romantic and serene boat ride along Zanzibar’s coastline.
• Scenic Views: Capture the stunning colors of the sunset over the Indian Ocean while cruising on a traditional dhow.
