Mnemba Island
Overview
Mnemba is a private island on the north-eastern coast of Unguja, famous for its crystal-clear water. On this tour you snorkel the surrounding reef among colourful fish and coral, then the boat continues to a low-tide sandbank for swimming, relaxing and photos.
There is a possibility of seeing dolphins while riding around the Menai Bay Conservation area. Note: the island itself is a private resort — the tour snorkels in its surrounding waters; landing on the island is not part of this trip.
