Snorkelling in Zanzibar

Travellers from all over the world come for snorkelling in Zanzibar, as well as many of the destination’s other major highlights. The archipelago provides some of the finest spots in the world for this exciting activity. Get ready to discover a wealth of colourful coral reefs and spot thousands of different marine species. Guests are able to do so via Chuini’s snorkelling excursions, which include a trip out to sea. 

Conditions and visibility in these areas are top-notch almost year-round, making Zanzibar a haven for snorkelling.

Mnemba Atoll is a well-known conservation area in Zanzibar and at the top of most people’s ‘must-snorkel’ list. Average visibility is good year-round and ranges between 10 and 30 metres. Snorkelling along the coast of Mnemba Island will get you up close to beautiful coral reefs, assorted fish species and other marine-life like dolphins, green turtles, and sea stars.

Tumbatu Island offers a prime snorkelling spot away from the crowds. Since Tumbatu is less frequented by human visitors, the marine-life here is curious. The likes of batfish, rare whip, ribbon eels and leaf fish can also be spotted in these waters.
