The ultimate Zanzibar ocean experience. Sail out to the waters around the Mnemba Atoll, where pods of wild bottlenose and spinner dolphins play in the open sea. With a bit of luck and a respectful approach, you’ll slip into the water and swim alongside these graceful creatures in their natural habitat. Then snorkel the atoll’s protected coral reef — one of the richest marine environments in East Africa — surrounded by clouds of tropical fish. A thrilling, unforgettable day for every ocean lover.
