The boat tour was really nice, the guide took good care to not let us jump to the dolphins with all the other boats. We got fresh fruits water and also a sailing experience, highly recommended! - But bring time :)

Absolutely amazing value for money and a must do activity! Driver arrived on time and as we were staying in Jambiani, we had to go to the other side of the island- about an hour and a half. However, the drive was very comfortable and pleasant- air con available and the driver was very nice, telling us about the things we were passing on our way like the local schools, rice plantations and spice farms. As we arrived, we were given snorkelling equipment to fit our needs and we quickly went on the boat. It was only a small group of about 14 people. We had cold water available at any time. Crew was absolutely the best we’ve ever had and we’ve been on a few boat trips in our holidays. Very polite, funny and ready to answer and question and help with literally anything including taking pictures and videos of us. There was a tip box on the boat but they never asked. Best surprise was swimming with dolphins for about 30 mins(amazing)Mnemba waters out of this world!!! Tropical fruits amazing
