You’ll explore protected marine areas, swim in warm lagoons, and enjoy freshly prepared food by the ocean. It’s a well-paced day that mixes time in the water with relaxed island stops. 🧭 Key Details Duration: Full day (snorkelling is 1 hour) Location: Fumba village and Menai Bay conservation area Age Requirement: Suitable for all ages Transport: Hotel pickup and drop-off available 🗺️ What to Expect Beginning with a transfer to Fumba village, the day starts as you board a traditional wooden dhow and head out into the Menai Bay conservation area. The sailing itself is part of the experience, with calm waters and open views as you move between locations. The first stop is usually a sandbank, where you can step off onto soft white sand, swim in shallow water, or simply take a break before the snorkelling begins. Next, you’ll head to one of the reef sites within the protected area. With equipment provided, you’ll enter the water and explore coral formations that are home to a variety of fish and marine life. Guides stay nearby to help you get the most out of the experience, whether that’s pointing out marine species or helping less confident swimmers feel comfortable in the water. The conditions are generally calm, making it suitable for a wide range of experience levels. Later in the day, the dhow takes you to a small island where a seafood barbecue is prepared. You’ll have time to eat, relax, and take in the surroundings before continuing on to explore lagoons and mangrove areas. There’s also the chance of spotting dolphins during the journey, depending on conditions. The day finishes with a return sail and transfer back to your hotel. 📍 Location Set on the south-west coast of Zanzibar, Fumba village is the gateway to the Menai Bay conservation area, one of the island’s most important marine zones. Known for its clear waters and protected reefs, this area offers some of the best conditions for snorkelling, with a mix of shallow lagoons and deeper coral sections. Out on the water, the landscape shifts between sandbanks, small islands, and mangrove-lined channels. These natural features create a varied environment throughout the day, with each stop offering something slightly different. The relatively sheltered waters of the bay also help keep conditions calm, making it a reliable area for marine activities. ✅ Prerequisites… ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Snorkelling equipment Boat trip by traditional dhow Guide throughout the experience Seafood barbecue lunch and tropical fruits Soft drinks and bottled water Life jacket Entry or admission fees Hotel pickup and drop-off ### What’s not included Personal insurance Transport to and from the meeting point (if not using provided transfer) Tips and gratuities Towels and sunscreen ### Kit list _None._ ## FAQs _No FAQs in catalog._ ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-04-14-105711.png - **Gallery image count**: 3 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
