  • Good Value for Money – Convenient Pick-Up and Drop-Off

    I took a tour to Mnemba Island that included snorkeling and swimming with dolphins. The tour offered good value for the money, and the pick-up and drop-off were smooth and well-organized, which made the experience even more convenient. Our group had a boat for eight people, along with a captain and a guide. Both did a great job—the captain advised us when to jump in to see the dolphins, and the guide led the swimming and helped take some nice underwater photos. My main reason for taking this tour was to see dolphins in the wild, and I was glad we got to do that. We jumped in a few times and saw them under the water. It’s not like swimming with dolphins in a pool—it's more about watching them as they dive deep and move away from people. The snorkeling part of the trip was enjoyable, although the sandbank beach was very crowded. Unfortunately, it started raining heavily at the end, so we didn’t get to enjoy the beach as much as we had hoped. Overall, I got what I was looking for. I did feel a bit sorry for the dolphins—there were around ten boats chasing them, with people jumping in every time they appeared. It felt a bit hectic. Maybe a private tour would offer a better chance to wait calmly and see the dolphins without the crowd, which would make the experience even more special.

  • Fun! Good but not great.

    This experience was good, but not great. The pick-up area at the dock was chaotic and not professionally run. The guys who ran the boat were terrific - lots of fun. However, the equipment that was rented was not good - most of us had trouble with the masks and snorkels. We raced around looking for dolphins and were directed to jump into the water when we saw them, which felt a bit unsafe amidst a clamor of other boats. The fruit was wonderful, and our guys sang - very nice. But we weren't given a ton of time to snorkel and were just taken to one area in the reef area.

  • Must see adorable dolphins 🐬

    The dolphin tour with our captain and guide Ali was amazing! 🐬 They were both very attentive and experienced. Snorkeling in crystal-clear waters and swimming with dolphins was an unforgettable experience. Fun, exciting, and truly memorable! Highly recommended! ⛵🌊

  • Snorkeling near Mnenba Island

    Very nice snorkeling near Mnenba, unfortunately there were many many boats which makes less extraordinary than it was intended to be. The dolphin chase is less than ideal. Dolphins were more shy and scared than playful. Will skip the chase next time and go directly to snorkeling. The captain and guide were very nice and quite accommodating. The fruit tray was a nice touch at the right time
