Very good! - The tour was really amazing! Because of the low season we got a private tour. It was a new experience for me to snorkel with fish, but it was really cool. There was no rush we can swim how long as we want. After snorkeling we go to sand bank and chill, take same awesome pictures and eat fruits. Then we go to find dolphins. And we saw them! You can also get in the water and swim with them but they are very fast and when they swim too far you need get back in boat and go find them again. And again jump in water and swim with them. It was amazing but it also was kinda exhausting. After dolphins we go back at the start point and feed turtles. The tour was really good, absolutely recommend it, thanks Suleiman and his crew! 🙏🏻

A wonderful boat day - It was a pleasant experience. The staff on the boat were very nice. I was lucky that there were only us people in the boat. I saw dolphins, swam with fish and went to a turtle reserve.

Amazing tours - The tour was amazing, we got to swim with the dolphins, play with starfish and had great time snorkeling around Mnemba island. We ended up having private tour just for us and had nice picnic on the sandbank with some fruits and cold beer. Visiting the turtles was also great got to feed them and pet them and not many people were there. Everything was on time and very smooth.

Great Time Swimming with Dolphins and Turtles in the Rain! - Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate the day we went on the tour (it was raining pretty regularly and relatively cold), but we still had a great experience overall! We arranged transportation through Suleman and he was happy to work with us on providing a private tour at a time that worked best for us rather than going first thing in the morning (we wanted to sleep in ha). Upon arrival, we headed straight to the boat. After about 15-20 minutes of searching, we found a group of about 5 dolphins playing and they gave us snorkel gear and we jumped in to swim with them. From there, we just followed the dolphins around in the boat and then swimming with them for another hour or so. Next, we headed to Mnemba Island to snorkel nearby. It was a small area to snorkel with several other boats full of people, but it was a fine experience. Afterwards, they cut up a bunch of delicious fruit for us to eat on our ride back. Finally, we visited a wonderful sea turtle preserve that was right there where we started, and we got to feed them and swim with them! Overall, it was a wonderful experience (despite the weather)!

Side trip - Unfortunately the weather didn't play along that day, it rained the whole time and it was very wavy at the beginning. The sandbank was also covered with water so we couldn't see it. We saw the dolphins, snorkeling was mediocre, feeding the turtles was fun.

Good morning activity in the north of Zanzibar - Well organized with optional hotel pickup in Stonetown for 40$. Excellent communication with organizer by whatsapp. It wasn’t a sunny day, but I did get to see and swim briefly with dolphins and lots of fish and at the end a sea turtle zoo-like place to finish the morning where you can feed them and pet them. Good food at the beach restaurant (grilled fish) before returning to Stonetown, optional also. Lots of fresh fruit on the boat.

Implementation under all circumstances - The content of the tour itself was as described and in addition to the coral reef in front of Mnemba, the sandbank, the dolphins and the turtle aquarium, we also saw starfish. In addition, the fruit that was available was really tasty - as far as the positive aspects. Unfortunately the entire tour was overshadowed by the weather. We contacted the organizer in the days before the excursion to clarify whether the tour should be postponed due to bad weather. We were told that there should be a maximum of short showers and that's why it's fine. Unfortunately it rained throughout the entire trip, which meant we were completely wet and cold despite the heat. We couldn't really snorkel, let alone go on the sandbar, because of the wind and waves. We found it very, very unfortunate that the organizer wanted to carry out the tour on that day under any circumstances and that we unfortunately didn't have a very nice experience. In addition, the snorkeling equipment was also very outdated (at least the snorkel and the goggles).
