Review of Zanzibar’s Prison Island and Nakupenda boat tour, with giant tortoises, snorkeling, seafood BBQ, costs, timing, and practical tips.
“The tour was well organised. We visited the giant tortoises, were given some interesting history on prison island and had a meal at the stunning sandbank. The sandbank has plenty of seating space in the shade and food cooked there for all the tours. Sadly we couldn’t snorkel as the waves were too big that day. One side of the bank was very calm and perfect for floating in the gorgeous, stunningly turquoise water. Lovely day with a friendly group.”

Review of the $50 Mnemba boat trip from Nungwi, with dolphin viewing, reef snorkeling, a sandbank stop, timing, value, and practical tips.
“Experiencia nefasta. No la contraten. La excursión comenzó una hora después de lo previsto (a las 9 hs). El transporte en el que se realizó es un bote muy precario, sin medidas de Seguridad mínima. No nos permitieron bajar a nadar con los delfines, solo avistarlos 5 minutos. Los guías no hablaban español, siendo que la actividad era en español. Las bebidas incluidas eran botellas de agua.”

I found out that the trip is not even happening because of weather conditions again . It was my last day of holiday and I was waiting all this time to do a private tour that I paid more just to assure I’m going to have an amazing experience but instead I had the worst experience. At this point I’m just hoping a refund”
