Dolphins, Blue Waters & Pure Magic - From start to finish, this excursion was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. My tour guide was on time, thorough, and incredibly fun — the kind of guide who instantly makes you feel comfortable and excited for the day ahead. On the ride to the beach, he introduced me to Zanzibar’s music and local artists, turning the drive into an interactive cultural moment. We even stopped at a few local shops beforehand so I could experience real life outside the resort, talk with locals, and grab my fins. He also picked up fresh fruit from a market — I didn’t know what it was for at the time, but it turned out to be such a sweet surprise later. When we arrived at the beach, we met the rest of our small group — a lovely Portuguese couple — and boarded our private boat, which had that perfect, authentic Zanzibar vibe. The water was a bit darker that day, but still so unbelievably clear and blue that it felt unreal. And let me tell you: our guide was NOT afraid to get in the mix for the best photos. I swear he jumped into the water at least 12 times just to capture the perfect shots. Swimming with dolphins in the wild was something I’ll never forget. I’ve never been that close to them before, and seeing them in their natural environment was mesmerizing and almost surreal. After our dolphin adventure, we headed to Namba Island, where we snorkeled through the most beautiful coral and schools of fish. The water, the colors, the calm — it was one of those rare moments where you’re completely present and grateful just to exist in the moment. The entire day was amazing. If I could’ve done this excursion more than once during my vacation, I absolutely would have. And next time I’m in Zanzibar, this will be one of the very first things I book again. Highly, highly recommend — this experience is the definition of unforgettable.

Guides late, non English speaking - Tour guide was over 30min late with no contact that they were on the way, this was the 1st in the 8yrs I've used viator for tours that the guide was late. Always been unbelievably punctual. I confirmed the day before the time and place for pickup. Hotel lobby 8am. The office contacted me later in the day saying the guides thought we looking for them on the beach?!

Dolphins were great, tour guide made us uncomfortable - The activities of the tour were very enjoyable. We got to see many dolphins and beautiful fish. Unfortunately, our tour guide Issa ruined the trip for us. He was extremely unprofessional and made us feel uncomfortable. He was on his cellphone for majority of the tour. He barely looked up from his phone long enough to answer our questions. At times it felt like he was flat out ignoring us. Although the biggest problem was that we caught him multiple times filming and taking photos of us without our permission. For reference, we are 3 girls in our early twenties, so you can only imagine how uncomfortable this made us feel. Due to this we cut our tour short because of how violated we felt. Do not book this tour company if you are a young woman.
