The seashore of the fishing village Kizimkazi is the home of several pods of humpback and bottlenose dolphins.

With our Snorkelling gear we depart from the shores of Kizimkazi fishing village in search of dolphins. The boat will take us out into the clear turquoise blue Indian Ocean where the odds of meetings dolphins are about 80%.

We encourage our skippers not to chase the dolphins and we advise visitors to enter the water away from the dolphins with as little disturbance as possible, staying close to the boat, avoiding sudden movement and allowing the dolphins to come to you. On busy days with many tourists, this however is not possible. After the exhilarating experience of swimming with the dolphins, you can also do snorkelling for a while before we will head back to shore. The trip takes about 4 hours from early in the morning.
