Mnemba Island Tour is a sea safari excursion that is a great day out, and not to be missed. It includes world-class snorkelling at the famous Mnemba Island reef, a marine conservation area, followed by a scrumptious seafood barbecue on the idyllic Muyuni beach. Mnemba Island is 3.2 km/ 2 miles off the northeast coast of Zanzibar island (Unguja). You reach Mnemba Island reef by boat, mainly from Nungwi (Ras Nungwi)—a fishing village and dhow building centre which is a 1 hour 30 minutes drive from Stone Town.
It takes about 40 minutes to reach the Mnemba Island reef snorkelling spot from Nungwi. Mnemba Island is a privately owned island with access restricted to guests of the luxurious Mnemba Island resort. We drop you off directly at the Mnemba Island reef, which lies a few hundred yards from Mnemba Island. Mnemba Island reef is a Marine Conservation area, where you can admire corals and tropical fish that many of us have only seen in an aquarium, as well as sea turtles and dolphins.
