DOLPHIN TOUR
About this Tour
The shallow waters around Kizimkazi are a favorite hangout for dolphins that come here for the reliable food supply, to nurse their calves, rest and socialize. Several bottle-nose dolphins stay at Kizimkazi all year-round. Dolphin tour is best very early in the morning, because in the afternoon as the sun rises sea water tends to become warm, therefore dolphins dive deep down the sea bottom to escape heat, for the guests who stay in Stone town hotel, we pick them up from their hotels at 06:00am and 05:00am from beach hotels.
Tour Highlights(Additional Information)
- Early Morning Departure (around 6–7 AM) to maximize chances of seeing dolphins.
- Boat Ride on a motorized dhow or speedboat into the open sea.
- Dolphin Spotting: Bottlenose and humpback dolphins are commonly seen.
- Optional Swimming: You may get a chance to swim near the dolphins (but it depends on sea conditions and ethics of the operator).
- Scenic Views of the southern coast of Zanzibar.
- Possibility of Snorkeling if the tour includes gear and time allows.
