About the Kizimkazi Dolphins Tour

From Kizimkazi, you board a traditional local boat with a captain who takes you out to search for humpback and bottlenose dolphins. The supplier describes opportunities to observe the dolphins, swim and snorkel in the surrounding marine environment, and often snorkel around nearby sandbanks.

The supplier recommends an early departure, around 6:00–7:00 AM, when dolphins are generally more active. The trip focuses on watching dolphins from the boat, with opportunities for swimming and snorkelling where conditions and wildlife behaviour allow. Sightings and close encounters with wild dolphins cannot be guaranteed.

Trips depart from the fishing village of Kizimkazi, located at the southern tip of Zanzibar. The supplier describes the activity as a half-day tour and snorkelling experience. Please follow the captain’s instructions and avoid disturbing or chasing marine wildlife.
