Dissappointing experience - The full-day Mnemba experience turned out to be quite frustrating. We were first told to arrive at 6:00, then it changed to 7:00, and finally to 9:30. The whole day felt poorly organized and unprofessional. Once on the boat, there were at least 30 other boats recklessly chasing after just a few dolphins. It was unsafe to swim with them, as the boats would speed right over swimmers in their frenzy to reach the dolphins first. This is why the guide had originally wanted us there at 6:00, before the chaos began, but the agency overruled him. In the end, the guide admitted it was pointless trying to see the dolphins, so we left to go snorkeling instead. The snorkeling itself was wonderful—we saw beautiful fish—but again, all the divers were crowded into just one spot. After that, they took us to the so-called “Aquarium & Zoo,” which was appalling. We should have known what to expect when we saw the shabby gravel road and the roadside sign. The few animals, like chameleons, were kept in terrible conditions, and the sea turtles were confined to just two dirty ponds. Everything looked filthy and run-down. There was no way I would get into that water with the turtles. It was heartbreaking to see the animals in such miserable conditions. The so-called “full-day tour” lasted only about 5 hours, at least 2 of which were spent traveling. Overall, it was a very disappointing day: the guide was on his phone most of the time, the dolphin chasing was cruel and chaotic, and the turtle experience was shocking.
