Overview
The Zanzibar dhow excursion is a great day out, not to be missed. It includes world class snorkelling at the famous Mnemba Atoll, a marine conservation area, followed by a scrumptious seafood lunch on board the dhow.
The dhow departs from Nungwi/Kendwa, followed by a 1 hour 45 minute trip (tide and weather dependent) along the stunning north-east coast of Zanzibar. Dolphin sightings are common. Two amazing snorkel sites await you at Mnemba, each very different from the other.
After several hours of snorkelling, you will enjoy your scrumptious seafood lunch on board soaking up the sun whilst enjoying the stunning views of Mnemba.
The excursion ends with a traditional sail back to Nungwi / Kendwa
