What people are saying about Zanzibar

The tour was perfectly organized. Great experience with the dolphins, snorkeling, staying on a big sandbar. BUT: The booking page contains incorrect information. The tour lasts 6 hours instead of the specified 3 hours. The tour was only booked for us, without other passengers. The pickup location options on the map are also incorrect. They pick you up from anywhere in Stonetown. The map entry where the boat starts is also wrong. Correct: North of Matemwe Beach. Who is responsible for the presentation of the booking page on Getyourguide? Conclusion: Everything was much nicer than described on the booking page.

It was amazing. We moved to another place because there was more chance of dolphins there. That worked! Snorkeling was great but the dolphins swimming under you top it off. Both men did a very good job and had fun doing it themselves. Jozani forest guide was in a hurry and rattled off his story. It was beautiful, yes

We saw dolphins, the butterfly center, chameleons, the superb Jozani forest with its monkeys, the mangrove. Great day, meal in a very nice place with swimming pool

Both the Dolphin encounter and the forest were fun, gave an opportunity to see animals that my children love and spend the morning outside the hotel

Such an unbelievable experience!! A true highlight of our trip to Zanzibar and a must even if you aren’t going to jump in to swim with them.
