Mnemba Atoll is widely regarded as the premier snorkeling destination in Zanzibar, offering an underwater paradise of pristine coral reefs and abundant marine life. This marine conservation area surrounds the private Mnemba Island, creating a protected environment where sea life thrives in crystal-clear waters.

Our Mnemba Atoll snorkeling tour takes you to this underwater wonderland for an unforgettable marine adventure. After a scenic boat ride from the northeast coast of Zanzibar, you’ll arrive at the atoll where the real magic begins beneath the surface.

As you enter the water, you’ll be amazed by the visibility, often extending 20-30 meters, allowing you to fully appreciate the underwater landscape. The healthy coral reefs feature a stunning variety of hard and soft corals in all shapes, sizes, and colors, creating a complex ecosystem that supports incredible biodiversity.

The waters around Mnemba are home to over 600 species of colorful reef fish, from tiny damselfish to graceful angelfish, parrotfish, butterflyfish, and occasionally larger species like tuna and barracuda. You might also encounter green turtles, hawksbill turtles, and dolphins that frequently visit the area.

Our experienced guides are not only experts in finding the best snorkeling spots based on daily conditions but also knowledgeable about marine life. They’ll help identify different species and ensure your safety throughout the experience. Quality snorkeling equipment is provided, and flotation devices are available for less confident swimmers.

Between snorkeling sessions, you’ll enjoy a delicious lunch on board our comfortable boat, with time to relax, sunbathe, and take in the stunning views of Mnemba Island and the turquoise Indian Ocean.
