It is worth noting that there are two prime locations for dolphin tours in Zanzibar i.e Mnemba Island and Kizimkazi but we prefer to take you to Mnemba Island due to the following reasons;
The Mnemba Island Adventure
Mnemba Island, a private island off the northeast coast of Zanzibar, is renowned for its vibrant coral reefs and diverse marine life.
Our Mnemba Dolphins Tour is designed to give you an up-close and personal encounter with the playful dolphins that call these waters home.
You’ll have the chance to snorkel in the pristine waters around Mnemba Island, exploring the stunning coral gardens and colorful fish that make this area a snorkeling paradise.
Best time to see dolphins
The best time to see dolphins in Zanzibar, particularly around Mnemba Island, is early in the morning (from 6:00 to 9:00 A.m.). Dolphins are often more active during the morning hours when they are feeding and playing in the calm waters.
We recommend to plan this tour for the morning to increase your chances of encountering these majestic creatures in their natural habitat.
