Amazing beautiful experience - Ali and Osman from Captain Barnaba boat tours. Thanks for making today so very special. We were warned that there was only 50/50 possibility of seeing dolphins and when we first joined the throng of other boats, there were none.and we vmwere doubtful, However, after snorkeling over a poorly looking reef albeit with a lot of reef fish,( loads of divers snorkels etc, they took us to a much more quiet area which was very quiet Within minutes the dolphins appeared. They were huge bottle nosed wild beautiful and free to swim in the ocean wherever they chose and we were honored that they chose to swim with us and our little group of 8. We then went to a quiet sandbar away from the crowded main one and enjoyed fresh delicious fruit and coconut and everyone on request of Ali, sang happy birthday to me!! Its my 60th and this was the Best day of our lives. The sight of a wild dolphin swimming alongside me will be indelibly printed on my brain. Thank you so much. 💓

Best guide ever - Was one of the best experiences I've ever had. The operator was very accommodating to my family and I after having to push our reservation back last minute due to extenuating circumstances. However, the actual experiences were amazing as well. The captain of the boat got us super close to the dolphins multiple times, and the guide helped tremendously as well. Also we got to the turtles early and had them mostly to ourselves for great photos and petting time. Overall beautiful experience I'll never forget. Thank you guys again.

AMAZING - This was BY FAR the best experience I have ever had in my entire life. The guides went above and beyond to explain everything to us and to guarantee we had the ultimate experience. A MUST when in zanzibar. This was magical. I cannot recommend enough. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience!

Once in a lifetime! - This was probably one of the coolest experiences of my life. The natural aquarium was amazing! Being surrounded by and being able to feed so many turtles was an experience I will never forget. But the highlight of the trip was the dolphins. Never did i imagine I would be an arms length away from dolphins in their natural habitat. This experience is once in a life time do not miss it!
