Private Dolphin Watching Experience in Zanzibar

About this experience

We are happy to re-launch the Zanzibar dolphin tour after finding a way to operate it ethically. The boat captains are local specially trained to operate sustainably and respectfully towards the dolphins. Since we cannot guarantee that you meet the dolphins (no-one can), we make sure you enjoy your day by including a picnic open the Invisible Island and snorkelling in the nearby coral reefs.

Dolphin safari offers you the experience of a lifetime, a chance to see the dolphins and even swim with them, if the environment allows. The seashore of the fishing village Kizimkazi is the home of several pods of humpback and bottlenose dolphins. The dolphins are officially protected by the 420 km2 Menai Bay Conservation Area, which was set up in 1997 to stop the rapid depletion of fish stocks.
