Snorkeling at Kizimkazi

Snorkeling at Kizimkazi – Zanzibar

Welcome to Kizimkazi, the southern paradise of Zanzibar, known for its crystal-clear turquoise waters, rich coral reefs, and friendly dolphins that love to play near the boats. Snorkeling at Kizimkazi is more than just an ocean activity — it’s a peaceful and exciting journey into the heart of the Indian Ocean.

Located on the southern coast, Kizimkazi is famous for being one of the best places in Zanzibar to spot wild dolphins and explore untouched coral gardens. Whether you are new to snorkeling or a confident swimmer, this half-day tour is designed to give you the perfect balance of adventure, relaxation, and natural beauty.

Your trip begins at the beautiful Kizimkazi beach. From here, you’ll take a scenic boat ride over calm waters, where dolphins often swim alongside the boats. Your professional local guide will take you to the best snorkeling spots — clear, shallow areas filled with colorful corals and tropical fish species such as parrotfish, butterflyfish, and clownfish.

You might even see starfish, sea urchins, and sometimes sea turtles gracefully gliding below you. The visibility is amazing, allowing you to admire every detail of the coral gardens and marine life.

After your snorkeling session, relax on the boat, enjoy fresh tropical fruits and cold drinks, and take in the incredible coastal scenery. The calm, natural atmosphere of Kizimkazi makes it a perfect escape from the busy parts of the island — ideal for couples, families, and anyone seeking a genuine Zanzibar experience.
