About the Nungwi Turtles + Sunset Cruise Tour

Travel to Nungwi in the north of Zanzibar and visit Baraka Aquarium, a lagoon where rescued sea turtles are kept before being released back into the ocean. The experience offers an opportunity to enter the water, swim alongside the turtles and feed them seaweed.

You can also use a snorkelling mask to observe the turtles in the water. After the aquarium visit, enjoy time at Kendwa Beach. The supplier itinerary mentions lunch during this part of the day, but lunch is not listed in its inclusions, so please confirm the arrangement when enquiring.

Later, board your private traditional wooden dhow for a sunset cruise along the coastline. Enjoy the changing colours of the sky as the sun sets over the Indian Ocean, with an opportunity for additional snorkelling at your own leisure. Seasonal fresh fruits, mineral water and refreshments are included.
