Mnemba snorkeling and dolphin activity was not a good experience. We were picked up at 7:30am and taken to a beach less than 1/2 mile from the hotel. We waited 80 minutes to board a boat. We had to ask for beach chairs to sit while waiting so long. Very disorganized. We finally boarded at 8:40am. There was no explanation of the safety, trip expectations or timing, The boat had no life jackets. A few in our boat could not swim. Also-we had to stop at another area to pickup more flippers. The first stop was to see dolphin. We arrived to the area and counted almost 50 boats “parked” next to each other. Most of the neighboring boats were served a platter of fruits. Our crew forgot a knife for fruit cutting and had to seek to borrow one. The water was a bit choppy and we only saw 3 dolphin. Too many boats in one area. We moved to the next area near the island. The fish were limited. The last stop seemed to be filling time. It was low tide so we could get off the boat to walk in the water. There were 10 passengers on this tour and some seemed nervous from never snorkel, complaining of disorganization and/ or disappointed of the overall tour. The two in crew didn’t interact or seem to care. Also one of the passengers asked how much each paid and it was shocking the range from $23 to $70 per person on the same boat. (Transport of less than 1 mile to the boat shouldn’t raise the rate that much more).

We had an absolutely fantastic snorkeling trip to Mnemba Island today, combined with dolphin swimming, and it exceeded all our expectations. The snorkeling itself was incredible – crystal clear water and an amazing variety of colorful fish. Truly one of the best snorkeling experiences we’ve had, maybe only small minus was that it was really crowded with boats and people from other companies there as well… A special and very heartfelt thank you to our deckhand Hassan and the boat captain, who both did an outstanding job. They really went the extra mile to give us the best possible experience. It was clear that they knew exactly where to find the dolphins and, most importantly, they showed great respect for them in the wild. When there were too many boats at the first dolphin spot, they made a thoughtful and responsible decision to change the plan to avoid stressing the dolphins. Instead, we started snorkeling earlier and then searched for dolphins at a different location on the way back – which worked perfectly and gave us the chance to swim with them in a calm and respectful way. Because of this change, we didn’t have time for the sandbank stop, but it was 100% worth it. All of us valued the dolphin experience far more, and we truly appreciated how flexible, knowledgeable, and ethical the boat team was. Highly recommended – an unforgettable experience thanks to an amazing and professional crew!

We did a lot of research into this activity before booking due to a lot of these tours being quite unethical but decided to book with these guys after reading the reviews and did not regret it one bit! A lot of tours will involve finding the pod of dolphins, having huge amounts of boats surrounding them and making you jump in, these guys did not do that, instead they drove away from the crowds and had us jump in at an area ahead of where the dolphins were swimming, making it much less stressful for the dolphins and a much more pleasant experience for us! The guides were very friendly and knowledgeable, really looked after their customers and provided a gorgeous platter of fresh fruit! The tour also included snorkelling close to Mnemba island, the tour guide snorkelled with us showing us the best spots to find the fish. We absolutely loved this experience and would highly recommend! Thank you so much for one of the best days we had on our trip to Zanzibar!

Great value tour with very kind guides. They have the best eyes in the business & were able to get us SO close multiple times. Unfortunately the sand bar was covered by the tide, but instead they took us to a beach for a fruit break. Very fun boat ride! I was scared to jump in the water on top of the dolphins, so I waited a little bit and yet I still saw the baby dolphins with their pods up close. I sincerely recommend this tour!

Together with my sister I did an afternoon tour. It was a beautiful experience to take to the bright blue water. We had a group of 9 people, if dolphins were spotted you could jump into the water together with Mustafa, the guide who gave you advice. After the dolphins we went to a snorkel spot where the whole group followed Mustafa who had a lifebuoy with him. He pointed out special fish and stopped regularly to ask if everyone was feeling well. A nice special afternoon! TIP: bring sunscreen and wear a t-shirt in the water, the sun is unrelenting.

We had a really great experience! Everything was well organized, the guide was professional, kind, and very attentive to our needs. We felt everything was fair, transparent, and honest, and we never felt taken advantage of. We are truly satisfied and would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Zanzibar.

So lucky to have seen the dolphins, which seem to swim with some quiet strength. We had booked online and we joined the crew at the meeting point easily. We were able to rent them a gopro to capture the dives. The snorkel spot was very nice we saw many fish of all colors.

Great experience! It was a little confusing when we first arrived but as soon as we got going, it was great. They really tried hard to find the dolphins and get you in the water before lots of other boats. Great time at the sand bar and great snorkeling at the reef.

We are a family of four from Norway and went on two trips with Captain Barnaba between Christmas and New Year. We can highly recommend both him and his crew. Our first trip was to the Mnema area for snorkeling and an attempt to spot dolphins. Unfortunately, due to the weather, we didn’t see any dolphins, but the crew did everything they could to locate them. In the end, we had to cut the trip short because of time constraints on our part. The second trip took us to Tumbatu for more snorkeling and another attempt to find the (for us) elusive dolphins. This time we hit the jackpot and were able to swim with them several times — an unforgettable experience. Through no fault of the crew, both snorkeling and dolphin watching can sometimes feel a bit hectic due to the large number of boats in the area. However, our crew was excellent, always putting safety first and ensuring that no unnecessary risks were taken. Even though the snorkeling around Tumbatu wasn’t great, it was still a really nice day out. For snorkeling, Mnemba was the better option. They also lent us a GoPro, which allowed us to capture some fantastic videos of swimming with the dolphins. Communication was outstanding throughout — they were available at all hours and very flexible, making sure we went out during the best possible weather windows. We can highly recommend Captain Barnaba and his crew.
