Kizimkazi Dolphin Experience

Meet Zanzibar’s Marine Life in the Wild

Duration: Half day | Availability: Every day | Experience: Early-morning boat trip, dolphins & swimming

Start your day early with a journey to Kizimkazi, on Zanzibar’s southern coast, where you’ll head out by boat into the marine conservation area in search of dolphins.

After arriving in Kizimkazi, get ready with your mask and fins before setting out onto the Indian Ocean. With guidance from your experienced boat crew, you’ll explore the waters where dolphins are commonly found and, when conditions and responsible wildlife practices allow, have the opportunity to swim in the surrounding waters.

It’s an exciting early-morning ocean adventure combining marine wildlife, swimming and the beautiful southern coastline of Zanzibar.
