5.00I absolutely recommend this activity with Captain Barnaba and his colleague Aly. The boat was comfortable and they were nice and helpful. They managed to show us the dolphins without any other boats around. They made us jump into the water and swim with the dolphins as many times as we wanted. Snorkelling was a great experience too, they took the time to accompany us well with the equipment, the boat constantly checking that everyone was okay. There was a client who could not swim by himself for example and Aly pulled him with a buoy so that the client could still enjoy with others and the mask. Excellent overall experience!
Amazing time with the dolphins

5.00Unforgettable Mnemba Island Experience with Beach & Bush Tours and Safari! We had an amazing time on the Mnemba Island snorkeling and dolphin tour organized by Beach & Bush Tours and Safari! From the moment we were picked up, everything was perfectly arranged. The team was professional, friendly, and made sure we were comfortable throughout. We started the day by searching for dolphins – and we were lucky enough to see them swimming freely in the wild! It was such a magical moment. After that, we went snorkeling near Mnemba Island, and the underwater world was absolutely breathtaking. The water was crystal clear, and we saw so many colorful fish and coral reefs. The guides were very helpful and made sure we were safe and having fun the whole time. This tour is a must-do if you’re in Zanzibar! We highly recommend Beach & Bush Tours and Safari for their great service, local knowledge, and unforgettable adventures. Thank you for the experience of a lifetime!
