We had an amazing experience on our dolphin excursion and snorkeling trip in Zanzibar with Chichi! Everything was wonderful, from the beautiful ocean views to the unforgettable experience of seeing dolphins in their natural habitat. Snorkeling was also incredible, with crystal-clear water and beautiful marine life. A special thank you to Chichi for making the experience so enjoyable and memorable. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Zanzibar and looking for an unforgettable adventure!

Great visibility and an abundance of coral reefs and marine life in the waters off Mnemba Island make it a delight for snorkeling. Mnemba Channel is also famous for Scuba Diving. Barracuda and Kingfish are plentiful. For the fly fisherman; Bonefish are to be found in the waters directly in front of the Hotel. Hop aboard a motorized boat with uber-renowned Captain who will take guests wanting to fish, or snorkel to the very best spots for these activities.

Nothing short of a dolphin hunt which scares the poor animals. The guides then proceeded to laugh at my partner who was worried about jumping off a boat at a moment’s notice with no prior warning into deep ocean to see dolphins swim past for 3 seconds (swimming scared from all the boats). Very unprofessional with no information about what we are doing and when. Just sounds and hand signals when we get to a spot. Do not book.
I contacted Shishi in the morning regarding a Stone Town tour. Within 2 hours he collect us ant the hotel and drove us to Stone Town where Ali the Stone Town Tour-Guide was waiting. Ali explained the history of Stone Town and we went to a local market where we bought different spices. In the afternoon Shishi drives us back to the hotel. Thanks Shishi
We booked a half day snorkelling and dolphin trip with Chichi after meeting on the beach by our hotel. The service was professional and Chichi was very knowledgeable about the best time to see the dolphins, he was also flexible as we tried to avoid some bad weather. Chichi joined us for the snorkelling to make sure we saw everything and he helped me to enjoy the experience as somebody who doesn’t love the sea! The freshly cut fruit was lovely too!
I contacted Chichi in the morning and within an hour he was at our hotel to collect us. We had the opportunity to snorkel in beautiful clear water, swim with the dolphins, touch starfish, and stop to enjoy freshly cut fruit at Mnemba island. We were 2 adults and 2 children (8 and 11), and we all enjoyed ourselves. Duration of trip was about 4 hours
We swam with dolphin!!! Of note, the tour states 4hrs, but they will go over to ensure you get a chance to swim with dolphin - which we did! Just make sure you have the time as they may go up to 6hrs while looking for dolphin, then they’ll ride over so you can jump out of the boat and swim with them! It’s really amazing. The atoll at Mnemba island is gorgeous and the water is amazing. We often do snorkeling trips on vacation and there were loads of fish, many of which we hadn’t gotten to see before. The crew were lovely and the fruit was cut fresh while on the boat. They arranged travel for us(for a reasonable extra cost), which was helpful as they depart out of Nungwi beach on the northern tip of the island.
We went with chichii 5 days in excursion. Everything was perfect so nice Guy he take care of you he organise everything He had thé best price and he is someone you can trust +255 773 653 125 Ask for himm i recomand ++++ He come pick you and bring you innbest place in zanzibar
Ask for Chi-Chi, he is a good guy. U can negotiate with him but his prices are fair and he is a really nice guy. It was a nice trip, they waited for us on the sandbank and always nice and polite.
Great guy, very friendly and made a fun boat trip with snorkeling and beach stay. We saw a lot of fish and dolphins and could swim with them. Afterwards we went to a area with turtles which was also great
I recently joined the Half Day Dolphin Snorkeling Tour at Mnemba Island, and it was an unforgettable experience! The tour was well-organized, and the team ensured that we had plenty of time to enjoy the beautiful marine life. Snorkeling alongside dolphins in such clear waters was magical. What made the experience even better was our guide. Their expertise, kindness, and knowledge of the area truly stood out. If you’re looking for the best guide to elevate your Zanzibar adventures, I highly recommend contacting +255 773 653 125. They made the trip even more special, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
Very nice trip! Certainly one to recommend. Chichi and Adam did everything to make it a spectacular one! The dolphins, snorkelling and especially fruits in the shallow waters of Mnemba island was a fantastic experience. Thanks again Chichi!!!
This was probably one of the best experiences I’ve ever done! Our guide, Chichi, was great as he did his best to ensure we saw the dolphins. You can either swim or just look at the dolphins from the boat. We decided to snorkel with them which was epic. It was also great because our guide took some videos for us on our phone so we could just enjoy the experience whilst capturing it for our memories. We also did the sand bank and fish snorkelling. We were also provided with fruit and water on the trip. 10/10 recommend to anyone visiting Zanzibar! We also did a tour of stone town, prison island and the turtle swimming with the same guide on different days. Great guy!
A good professionally organized trip despite rough sea. We could both snorkel followed by Chi Chi’s assistant and swim with dolphins. Our safety was a priority. Fruits fresh and nice. Can definitely recommend Chi Chi as a trustworthy partner.
Friendly crew! Dedicated to making this experience as good as possible. No dolphins seen in the afternoon. Crew said Dolphins usually only seen in the early morning. We did see colorful and beautiful fish near the sand bar. Water was a bit choppy. Didn’t feel safe to see the coral in deeper water areas. Wish there were life jackets on our skiff. Only 2 of the ten boats out on the water looked like they carried life jackets.
Incredible trip and we were very pleased to not only see dolphins but get up close and swim with them. CHICHI was a very good host and took care of all needs and ensured we got up close with the Dolphins.
It was a super exciting experience for the whole family (two adults and two kids 10 and 14 years old). The trip had three stops: swimming with dolphins, snorkelling in coral gardens with plenty of colourful fish, and searching for starfish. Every stop was great. We never thought we could swim so close to dolphins. If we were lucky we had them even 1 m from us. Chichi and his captain were very patient with us and searched for the best places to see them as close as possible. They always told us when was the right time to jump into the water to have the best views and experience swimming next to them. Truly amazing! Coral gardens were beautiful with tons of colourful fish around us (sometimes also thanks to the food our captain used to entice them). During the last stop near Mnemba Island, our captain was diving and bringing the starfish on the board. Within less than 5 minutes he has collected four of them. We had a great time with Chichi and his captain during this trip. Chichi is very friendly, and flexible, and provides good tips for snorkelling. He has a very good price (much cheaper than in our hotel). Moreover, we had a private boat only for our family which was also cool. The fruit he offered (pineapple and watermelon) was the best we have tasted during our stay in Zanzibar. We can only recommend going with Chichi for this trip!
Great snorkeling with dolphin tour to mnemba island we saw different colors fishes when we did snorkeling with chichi di Zanzibar, the tour was fantastic we were satisfied with his services chichi with his brother and also we swam with a lot of dolphins when and chichi ensured that we are happy in all time with my family, so guys I recommend you to do your tours with chichi di Zanzibar, I believe you will enjoy in all your tours with him because he is the best in their excursions and I promise when you go with chichi you can see dolphins and swimming with them in % percentage, a part from that we did some other tours such as spice farm, prison island,nakupenda sandbank, safari blue,jozani forest, safari Tanzania,rock restaurant and others so guys for more information contact him Whatsapp number +255 773653125
We had great time to enjoy dolphin tour, snorkel, and sand bank tour with ChichidiZanzibar. We can see lots of dolphins because of our friendly guide. He took really care of us so we enjoyed jumping into the water though we were not good at swimming. It was a great gift for our honeymoon and many thanks to Chichi!!! >>ChichidiZanzibar (+255 773 653 125)<<
We (family of 2 adults and two kids 10 and 11) went out for snorkeling and to swim with dolfins. We saw lots of cool fishes and our guide help our daughter to swim so that she could see lots! Our guide made sure that we saw dolfins upp close and we git to swim with them. Our guide also told us lots of intressting facts about Zanzibar ond Tanzania.
We were on the trip with ChiChi di Zanzibar (tel. nr. +255 773 653 125 - WhatsApp). It is the best - we saw many dolphins, possibility to swim with them, snorkling by Mnemba… relax… the trip will be customized for you, price is very good 😊 Perfect!
Very kind and friendly guy. He is the one of the best at zanzibar. He has many options to do as many excited activities. He told us feel free to contact him via +255 773653125 number.
I can only recommend it, very friendly and always there for whatever is needed 100% ❤️
The tour was great. The guide, Chichi, always went into the water with us to swim after dolphins and fish. Very accommodating and friendly!
We did see dolphins in the wild, but it was nothing short of a hunt for the poor animals. Because it was the off-season, there were "only" 10 boats that had surrounded the animals. We were told that during the peak season, there are 50 boats that are with the animals. I can hardly imagine that. No thanks, that's not for us. If we had known that beforehand, we certainly would not have done it.
No dolphin because high tide and no swimming on the lagoon of Mnemba. Very nice staff but little invested. Too bad we weren’t offered to go in the morning
Byliśmy z Chi Chi na nurkowaniu i delfinach oraz na wycieczce w Stone Town. Wszystko świetnie i bezpiecznie zorganizowane. W mieście czekał na nas przewodnik który w języku polskim opowiedział historię Stone Town i oprowadził nas po najważniejszych miejscach. Wszystko to dużo taniej i sprawniej zorganizowane niż przez biuro podróży. Wspaniali ludzie trzeba ich wspierać !
We had a wonderful trip with Chichi and his brother. It was very interesting and exciting! I recommend these guys to everyone when choosing excursions around Zanzibar! You will not regret! Thanks for the trip!
Le snorkeling à Mnemba était incroyable, nous avons vu plusieurs poissons et les guides étaient super sympa. En revanche, sur la réservation il y avait écrit qu’on allait nager avec les dauphins alors que pas du tout, nous avons dû demander pour aller les voir. Heureusement, nous en avons croisés deux. Nous avons eu la sensation d’avoir payer cher du coup pour juste du snorkeling.
Private excursion to a superb location ... swimming with dolphins in their natural environment free range , magical snorkelling with multitude of fish in lagoon waters and bbq with lobsters on the beach with always very few people just us and organizers.
