Tour overview
Its the most popular snorkeling spot in Zanzibar.
And with a reason – its shallow waters, from 2 to 4 metres deep, burst with life. Moorish idols, blue tang, snappers, and clownfish are easy to see in a few feet of water, above a colorful, well-preserved reef. Sadly, there are some parts of the reef that are damaged, the corals fade and die. This happens because of changing climate, water temperature rise, excessive flowering of the algae, storms, and human interference.
Corals are sensitive to substances in sunscreen lotions, so please protect yourself with clothing rather than applying the cream. Your experienced guide will bring you to the most beautiful spots, preserve them! You will feel deeply moved to be seeing all this diversity and beauty.
Besides the fish and corals, look out for blue starfish, Red-knobbed starfish, or the fearsome crown-of-thorns starfish, a poisonous, coral-eating species.
While exploring the reef, you have a great chance to meet a dolphin at a very close range, they like the waters of the reef and often swim with divers. If the time is right, you may even see the green turtles heading to lay their eggs at the beach.
After this exceptional snorkeling experience, you’ll be taken to a nearby sandbank for a relaxed delicious seafood lunch.
