Safari Blue Lagoon Trip with Snorkeling
Fumba Village, Menai Bay, Zanzibar. 6 to 8 hours.
Experience Overview
The day begins at the Fumba seafront, where you board a hand-crafted dhow. The itinerary is tide-dependent but typically starts with a sail into the turquoise waters of Menai Bay, where you have a 90% chance of spotting Indo-Pacific humpback and bottlenose dolphins. You will stop for a guided snorkeling session at two different reefs, teeming with schools of tropical fish and healthy coral. Later, the boat anchors at a pristine sandbank for fresh tropical fruit and swimming. After working up an appetite, you head to Kwale Island for a massive seafood BBQ buffet served in an open-air restaurant. The afternoon includes a visit to an ancient, fallen baobab tree and a swim in a natural "blue lagoon" mangrove pool before sailing back to Fumba as the sun begins to lower.
