Description:
Departure at 9:00 AM from Kizimkazi Dimbani Beach. Board our comfortable traditional sailboats for an unforgettable experience. We’ll begin with an exciting snorkeling session, allowing you to explore the colorful and diverse underwater life of the region. You’ll have the chance to admire living corals and tropical fish. Next, we’ll return to the boat and head towards the sandbank. Enjoy some free time to swim in the lagoon. When it’s time, we’ll call you to indulge in a delicious and hearty seafood barbecue lunch. Juicy shrimp, grilled fish, tender squid, and other seafood delights await you, offering a truly gastronomic experience at sea. To end this beautiful day, we’ll sail back through the stunning surrounding mangroves. Back on the beach, your taxi will take you to the new sea turtle sanctuary (we avoid the one in Nungwi), where you’ll also have the chance to swim. Make sure to take a shower before entering to remove any sunscreen. A perfect end to a beautiful day!

SHARED DHOW EXPERIENCE
This is a shared traditional dhow experience, where you'll enjoy the excursion alongside other guests aboard our traditional wooden sailing boat. It’s a great way to meet fellow travelers and share the fun. However, if you prefer a more exclusive and intimate outing, you can book a private dhow just for you and your group. This option allows for a more personalized experience — perfect for couples, families, or friends looking for extra privacy and comfort. Let us know in advance if you'd like to upgrade to a private dhow, and we’ll be happy to arrange it for you.
PRIVATE EXPERIENCE
Did you know you can also book the Pungume + Salaam Cave excursion in a private mode? Enjoy a more personalized experience with just your group on board. Whether you're looking for a more intimate adventure or wish to celebrate a special occasion, a private tour gives you the freedom to customize your day on the water.

WHAT TO WEAR
For your Mnemba Island excursion, we recommend wearing comfortable and beach-friendly attire. A swimsuit worn under light, breathable clothing is ideal, along with quick-dry shorts or a beach cover-up. Flip flops or water shoes are perfect for getting on and off the boat with ease. Don’t forget sun protection—bring a hat or cap, UV-protective sunglasses, and reef-safe sunscreen. It’s also a good idea to pack a towel, a change of clothes for after the trip, and a waterproof bag to keep your phone and valuables safe. If you have a waterproof camera or GoPro, bring it along to capture the highlights of your day!

What is a Transparent Kayak?A transparent kayak, also called a clear-bottom kayak or see-through kayak, is a specially designed canoe made from clear material, allowing you to see directly beneath you as you paddle. It gives you a unique window into the underwater world, making it perfect for exploring coral reefs, tropical fish, and marine life without needing to get wet.
