    Begin your day with a boat ride into the Indian Ocean to look for dolphins in their natural habitat.

    Next, we will go to Pungume Reef, one of Zanzibar's hidden gems for snorkeling. Here, you can discover colorful coral gardens, tropical reef fish, and vibrant marine life. The crystal-clear waters make it the perfect spot for underwater exploration, whether you are a beginner or an experienced snorkeler.

    While snorkeling, you might encounter green turtles, seahorses, octopuses, frogfish, trumpetfish, Napoleon wrasse, lionfish, stonefish, zebrafish, starfish, bluefin trevally, leaffish, scorpionfish, and many other fascinating species.
  4. 2h · Admission ticket included
    From Pungume, the journey leads to a stunning white-sand sandbank, surrounded by turquoise waters.
