We had an amazing guide Ali, so friendly and helpful. Picked us up from our hotel, and we went straight to the beach and onto a boat chasing down Dolphins we were very lucky and seen lots of them. We then went round the sand bank of the island and had some fresh fruit, and the. got to snorkel for as long as we wanted seeing lots of different fish! highly recomend and Ali is amazing!

Great 1/2 day trip to Mnemba Island

Was picked up promptly by Anwary from our hotel and taken to Muyuni beach where we met Ally our guide who was ready for us and guided us to our boat, his knowledge of dolphins, Mbemba island, its history and of the area was exceptional. The boat trip, was great, we saw dolphins, we swam around coral reefs and saw amazing fish and other sea life. Also watching the sandbank appear as the tide went out was fantastic. We were also supplied fresh fruit and water. A great trip made better by our guide (Ally), the boat man and our driver Anwary. Great trip and can highly recommend ❤️

Our guide Ally was very friendly, explained a lot about Zanzibar, the trip, what we’ll see, etc. We chased some dolphins with the other boats and had the opportunity to swim with them if we wanted to. Afterwards we headed for some snorkeling and to the sandbank near Mnemba, which is pretty beautiful and could just relax, take pictures and explore the reef. Afterwards, we had some fruit on the boat and headed back. All in all a very fun experience

Highlight of Zanzibar

Allytour took us out to Mnemba Atoll. Picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel. Included snorkeling, dolphin watching/swimming, and swimming on sandbar of Mnemba Island. The dolphins were amaziing. The Reef was beautiful, but packed with snorkelers and boats.

Awesome adventure

MR AFRICA, #1 in Zanzibar is the best guide!! We had a fabulous day on the water. At one point I got a little seasick but he took excellent care of me & kept checking in with me to make sure I was enjoying myself. He and his crew were awesome! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Mnemba Island

Excelente excursión por el Atolón de Mnemba. Hemos podido ver delfines (podías tirarte alguno para los más valientes). Y luego nos han llevado a un arrecife donde hemos practicado snorkel y había una gran variedad de peces y estrellas de mar. Tanto el guía español como los otros tripulantes del barco excepcionales. Recogida en el hotel y vuelta al lugar de origen. En resumen una experiencia única.
