Additional Information

Renowned worldwide is The Rock, a unique dining destination celebrated not only for its remarkable location but also for its exceptional cuisine that combines a touch of Zanzibar and Italian love with inspiration drawn from natural resources. Situated in the southeast, on the Michamwi Pingwe peninsula, The Rock is a gem. The Blue Lagoon is located just Off the Michamvi Peninsula, and its snorkeling adventure is dependent on the tide. Therefore, it’s mandatory to verify the high and low tide times with low tide generally offering better views and milder water, which subsequently results in superior visibility of fish and corals and improved swimming conditions. The mesmerizing turquoise waters beckon all aquatic enthusiasts for an enjoyable exploration of tropical fishes and reefs! Meet a plethora of vibrant, tropical little fish such as the parrot fish, Lion fish, Zebra fish, Triggerfish, Goat fish, Cornet fish, Eel, Squirrel fish, Surgeon fish, Blue sea chub, Yellow Boxfish, Butterfly fish, and numerous others.

  • A minimum of 2 people per booking is required

Nothing to be blue about at Blue - We met dear friends who we hadn't seen in tow years, at Blue for lunch. It was terrific. Each of us had something different and all of us were delighted with our choices. From a short rib grilled cheese sandwich, to a Cobb salad, to a turkey tips plate with mashed potato and broccoli and to me choice, a blackened salmon wrap sandwich - every entree was well prepared, attractively presented and absolutely delicious. Both sandwiches came with a very generous serving of fries. My salmon wrap had green, avocado, salmon, tomato and chipotle mayo - a marvelous taste treat. Coffee was hot and nicely served. Glasses of white wine were quite nice, all was served by a diligent and charming waitress. We spent more than tow hours and never felt rushed.Great experience in every dimension.

Great communication - Weather didn’t permit us taking this tour. Zanzibar was having an unseasonably rainy week we were there. This is completely understandable. The vendor representative was extremely helpful, pleasant and had a wonderful presence with chatting about the tour. I would definitely try to book a tour with them again!

The Rock Restaurant - The restuarant has a stuningly beautiful setting. While there is high tide you go by boat, but can walk during low tide. I had made a reservation for the lunch. Some of the items on the menu were not available. The dessert was delicious. It is also possible to just visit to take pictures.

You have to try it - Very nice restaurant on the ocean. The idea is crazy and worth the view. The meals were very very good and refined. The outside terrasse is amazing to drink a cocktail after lunch. Just be prepared for the wind and the sand everywhere:) the only problem is booking when it is high season. We got lucky but it seems it could be very complicated sometimes.

Italian and Zanzibarese at the same time - The food is very good, the owner is friendly and knows how to run his business. We’ve been here for the second time and it was not disappointing.

Good!! - I enjoyed the tour. It ended up being a private tour with just my wife and I. The tour guide was on time and took us where we needed to go. The only problem that I had was that I requested a guide who speaks English and we got a guide who didn't, which made communication very difficult. Other than that the tour it self was worth book for the price 👌🏽 💯

Do not recommend - This trip was too expensive for what was provided. First the tour was supposed to be private but we found to more tourists in the car with us. The guide´s English was not very good at all, not too easy to comunicate. No water was provided during the whole tour. The snorchling was hardly average, the star fish were stunning and beautiful. Lunch at the Rock restaurand was overprised but worth the experience. Overall - too expensive for too little.
