About The Experience

Meet Zanzibar's Dolphins

Start your morning with an exciting journey to Kizimkazi on the southern coast of Zanzibar. From there, board a local boat and head into the ocean in search of wild dolphins.

The experience combines dolphin watching with time on the water, swimming or snorkeling when conditions are suitable, and a relaxing return along the beautiful southern coastline.
