A Hidden Gem in Zanzibar 🌿🐢

5.00Visiting Salaam Cave Aquarium was one of the most memorable experiences of our trip to Zanzibar. The natural cave setting is absolutely stunning, and getting the chance to swim with the turtles in their crystal-clear waters was magical. The team was friendly, informative, and made us feel completely at ease. Feeding the turtles was a highlight — they're so gentle and curious! After the experience, we enjoyed the peaceful environment, had refreshments, and appreciated the clean changing facilities. It's a perfect mix of nature, wildlife, and local charm. Highly recommended for families, couples, or anyone looking for a unique and interactive activity in Zanzibar. Don't miss it!
Turtles and friendly driver!

5.00The turtles were so amazing. Truly an experience! Our driver Juma was WONDERFUL! He was readily available to drive us wherever we needed and even made arrangements to bring us to the airport. If you are on the fence of what company to book with, this is the one! They will take care of all your needs
It was an amazing experience

5.00A must do when here! Feed and pet the turtles in an amazing environment… the water was beautiful and not too cold. It was good having a guide and getting picked up direct from our hotel. If you don’t do this you are crazy!
