How the trip unfolds
After pick-up, a minibus or bus takes you to Nungwi, where the boat leaves for Mnemba atoll. Allow about an hour to interact with the dolphins in their natural habitat. The return is via Nungwi, then to the hotel.
Snorkelling at Mnemba
Once the encounter is over, the trip continues with about forty minutes of snorkelling in the Mnemba marine reserve. The listing mentions clownfish, parrotfish and angelfish, and sometimes sea turtles. Equipment is provided, and tropical fruit and water are served on board.
What the sea decides
The number of dolphins varies with the weather and the state of the sea, and there may be few. It is better to go without specific expectations: the snorkelling and the crossing are part of the trip in any case.
