Ocean & islands
Mnemba Sandbank & Atoll
The island's best-known snorkelling water, around the Mnemba atoll.
The water around Mnemba is some of the clearest and most colourful in Zanzibar. The atoll's reefs draw huge numbers of fish, and on a good day you might share the water with turtles and dolphins passing through.
You snorkel the reefs and stop on a sandbank in impossibly blue water. We sort the boat and timing so you get the calm, clear window.
Highlights
- Snorkel the famous Mnemba reefs
- Sandbank stop in bright turquoise water
- Chance to spot turtles and dolphins
- One of Zanzibar's top ocean days
