Overview

Swimming with dolphins in Zanzibar promises an enchanting experience where you can connect with these graceful creatures in their natural marine playground.

Our guided tours take you to where dolphins frolic in their natural habitat, offering a chance to swim alongside these majestic creatures.

Our tours prioritize responsible interaction, ensuring minimal disturbance to the dolphins and their environment, while providing you with an enriching and unforgettable experience.

Join us for an ethical and thrilling dolphin encounter that will create lasting memories of your Zanzibar journey.

It is worth noting that there are two prime locations for dolphin tours in Zanzibar i.e Mnemba Island and Kizimkazi but we prefer to take you to Mnemba Island due to the following reasons;

The Mnemba Island Adventure

Mnemba Island, a private island off the northeast coast of Zanzibar, is renowned for its vibrant coral reefs and diverse marine life.

Our Mnemba Dolphins Tour is designed to give you an up-close and personal encounter with the playful dolphins that call these waters home.

You’ll have the chance to snorkel in the pristine waters around Mnemba Island, exploring the stunning coral gardens and colorful fish that make this area a snorkeling paradise.

Best time to see dolphins

The best time to see dolphins in Zanzibar, particularly around Mnemba Island, is early in the morning (from 6:00 to 9:00 A.m.). Dolphins are often more active during the morning hours when they are feeding and playing in the calm waters.

We recommend to plan this tour for the morning to increase your chances of encountering these majestic creatures in their natural habitat.

 Verified Great service, very helpful and responsive. We were 6 people (parents, 3 adult children and a 13 y old son) and did all our tours with GoSmart Zanzibar: Stone Town, Spice Tour and Prison Island, Mnemba and Turtle, Jazani Forest and Safari Blue. We also used their services for sone transfers. Said has been incredibly responsive, at all times, and flexible when one of us got sick and he allowes us to postpine the tour by one day at no cost even if only notified the evening before. Ali, our driver, very polite, helpful, and a very good driver in not always easy driving conditions. Amazing people and amazing week!

 Verified Amazing experience with go smart Zanzibar Tours and safari The excursion was amazing with professional and kind staff. The driver picked us up on time and allowed us to enjoy every spot. Started with mnemba island for dolphins and snorkeling, then the aquarium swimming with turtles, then kendwa beach. And awesome long and wide beach with very clear water, white sandy beach with lots of water sport activities and finished with sunset cruise which was epic. The driver waited patiently the while day and back to out hotel in the evening. I would recommended this your company and looking forward to doing another excursion with them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. GoSmart helped us with multiple transportations and organized several tours for us, customizing the tours to our needs. Said provided amazing organization from the office, was always super responsive and flexible to adjust to our needs. We had to change some tours and adjust the schedule last minute when one of our group fell sick and Said saved our trip helping to reorganize everything. All drivers and guides were very professional. In particular, Ali excelled being extremely polite, sympathetic and ever helpful. Thank you all for making our trip to Zanzibar memorable and a pleasure! Can only highly recommend them if you go to Zanzibar.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We met Said at the Airport and we did all the activities with him (nakupenda, prison Island, dolphins, sea turtles, juizani forest and spice farm). We loved every activity, especially nakupenda in which we were just us on the boat/lunch and not a big group as often happen. He is very punctual and friendly. I would recommend him!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were planning a trip but didn't want to get into the hassle of booking everything ourselves. We were recommended to Said from GoSmart Zanzibar Tours and Safari. He made our Zanzibar vacation enjoyable. He took care of most of our traveling needs. He was professional, friendly and approachable from the first day he pick us up from Airport until the last day we came back. He has all travelling expertise and he was able to answer all our questions patiently. I really recommend GoSmart Zanzibar Tours and Safari if traveling to Zanzibar. Their services is the best. We visited a lot of places like Nungwi beach, Prison island, Kuza carve, Stone town and many more.
