Day 1 – Transfer to Mnemba area and guided snorkeling experience
Your 2 Days Zanzibar Mnemba Island Snorkeling & Beach Holiday begins with a private pick-up from your hotel in Zanzibar and a comfortable drive to the north-east coast near Mnemba Island.

After snorkeling, you return to the beach area for a relaxed lunch and rest time. The afternoon is free for swimming, beach walking or simply enjoying the coastal scenery before returning to your selected beach accommodation.

Later in the afternoon, you are transferred back to your hotel in Zanzibar, concluding your private marine and beach escape.
