About This Tour

Discover Zanzibar the authentic way on a private traditional boat from Nungwi Beach to the famous Mnemba Reef area. This is not a luxury yacht — it's a real local-style Zanzibar vessel with a friendly captain and assistant, offering a simple, safe, and genuine ocean adventure for up to 15 guests.

Departing from Zanzibar Watersports on Nungwi Beach, your private boat cruises along the scenic north coast toward the Mnemba Reef — one of Zanzibar's most beautiful marine areas. Along the way, you'll have a chance to spot wild dolphins, a common (but not guaranteed) highlight of this route.

At the reef, drop anchor for a snorkeling stop in clear, shallow water full of tropical fish and coral. Then enjoy time on a natural sandbank — perfect for swimming, relaxing, or having a picnic (food and drinks not included, you can bring your own).

This tour is perfect for travelers looking for an authentic, flexible, and family-friendly day at sea — without the crowds of larger tour boats. Your captain adapts the route to tides, wind, and sea conditions to keep the day smooth and safe.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Daniel and Yoking are two amazing brothers to look out for if you are going snorkelling with this company. Yorking ensured everyone got into the water (even the jittery ones!) and swam right by us holding and guiding us. Loved the experience!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience with Boat Trips Club! Everyone took care of us really well. There was so much space on the boat to lounge, relax and put our stuff away. We had a whole day excursion and went to the a shallow pool and Saona Island. Everyone would ask if we needed anything at all times. Highly recommend the service. It was the best boat experience I’ve had.
