Overview

The waters off Kizimkazi in the south of Zanzibar are home to resident bottlenose and humpback dolphins. Early morning is the best time to see them, so this trip starts early.

Our captains follow responsible watching rules: no chasing, and you slip into the water quietly only when the dolphins are calm. Snorkelling at a nearby reef follows.
