Mnemba Reef Morning
A single, carefully timed boat to the sandbank’s outer reef, then back to the beach before the heat.
Zanzibar
From $180 per person, indicative. Confirmed in our reply.
Not a full holiday — a clean half-day for guests already on the north-east coast. We use a licensed boat, provide a guide who will not rush the snorkel, and cancel rather than go out in poor visibility.
Highlights
- Hotel pickup on the north-east coast
- Boat, guide, and snorkel set
- Marine park fee included in the quote
- A decision to postpone if the sea is wrong

Important. You should be comfortable swimming in open water. Children need a parent in the water. This is not a scuba course.
Questions
Do we land on Mnemba Island?
No. The island itself is private. The trip visits the surrounding reef, which is the point of going.
