It was the most amazing experience, we got to swim with so many wild dolphins and they made sure to do it in a humane way so unlike other boats we were not chasing them. The sandbank and fruit was lovely and the snorkelling was out of this world. Best trip of the holiday I can 100% recommend!

Ludo and Hassan were absolutely fantastic, very considerate of the dolphins and helped the non-swimmer brilliantly. Pickup was easy and communication was great. They made us laugh and we had a fantastic time!
I really love the sand...

This tour was great and I recommend it! The crew was very attentive and made sure we were always feeling ok. We got to see the dolphins and had the option to jump in several times to swim with them when we were close enough. Unfortunately, my transfer wasn’t included where I was staying in Stone Town but I was able to organize a round trip transfer at an additional price directly with the company via WhatsApp.
Unforgettable experience

Team on top. Excursion to recommend. With competitive prices compared to hotels. The captain picked us up in front of our hotel by boat, then met us with dolphins. We swam several times with it. We went snorkeling near the island of Mnemba. Then short of the starfish, and discovered a sandbar in the middle of the sea
Amazing excursion

Really great experience - had a blast with dolphins, felt like safari trying to find them and catch a glimpse before they descend. The coral snorkeling was amazing and I wish we bought go bro to capture it all. The sand bank was our favorite for the clear water and just good times and fresh fruit. Would recommend all my friends for this excursion!
Perfect daytrip

We were picked up in the morning by boat directly from the hotel. Our guide Hasan was super friendly and took great care that all participants are fully looked after and can collect the best and most beautiful memory. We felt very comfortable and would do it again and again!
