A fantastic guide for unforgettable excursions in Zanzibar - We stayed in Zanzibar 4 days and have chosen Ali for our excursions thanks to very good reviews on TripAdvisor. Ali was really kind and caring. He organized 2 private excursions for us: - excursion to the island of Mnemba, where we were able to see dolphins and swim with them. After swimming we went back in our private boat and got a big and delicious platter of local fruits. Then we had a fantastic lunch in a small restaurant on the beach with a great view. We ate fish, octopus, shrimps and lobsters (all included). - We also trusted Ali for a second combined excursion: Prison Island, Stone Town and spice farm. Everything was perfect. As for Mnemba Ali came to pick us up at our hotel. Everything was perfectly organized. We had a fantastic guide to visit every thing. We learned a lot (history, culture, economy, way of life, the various spices the country is growing and exporting… The service offered by Ali is truly professional. He is an honest and serious person. In addition, his prices are affordable and very reasonable. If you are looking for good value for money, do not hesitate to contact him. He will be able to meet your needs and advise you based on what you want to do. He offers many customized quality programs. He can search a guide speaking your language. We strongly recommend Ali.

Amazing - Amazing , swimming with wild dolphins is surnatural . The water is warm , the corals are amazing , not to many paole, well organnize from A to Z

An absolutely amazing experience - This was one of the few places that do pick ups from further down the island which is such a bonus but the experience itself was absolutely amazing. The captain made sure we were ok the whole time jumping in with us when we swam with dolphins always checking in that we were ok and were able to see them. The snorkeling was also amazing the captain was showing us the different fish and telling us about them took photos close up further down of the reef and of us it was such an exceptional experience I would highly recommend to go with them especially seeing other boats with people jumping in without the captain it just made you feel safer with him there with you as he also held the hand of one of our friends so was slightly scared. The fruit was also amazing and freshly cut onboard.

Amazing morning with the Dolphins! - The private taxi picked us up on time and he coordinated with the boat operators as soon as we reached the beach! I recommend going early around 6:30am. Not too many boats at all and more chance of seeing Dolphins.. we swam with the dolphins for a really good period of time. They didn’t seem alarmed by our presence. The guys on the boat held our GoPro for us and got some great footage! Couldn’t have asked for more!

Blue day on the boat - Boat & ocean lovers, don’t miss this opportunity to Enjoy the beauty of the nature at Zanzibar - Mnemba Island. The Best part of the trip was seeing wild dolphins in their natural habitat. There was no need for all kind of fresh fruits or snorcheling with different type of fishes. Captain Mário did manage it all! Only thing we needed to do was come to the beach in the time that we selected. 100% recommended from us! Thank you Captain! 🩵

2 and a half Stars - Let’s start with this was not a 4 hour tour. For us it lasted 2 hours - including from the time we were picked up at your hotel. We were picked up at 7am and were done by 9:10am. Then - swimming with the dolphins experience went south quickly. Once we navigated to a soo in the ocean we waited for the dolphins. That was ok… however, at least 10 more boats were already which, at the moment, was not a big deal for us… Once there was word that dolphins had been spotted, it become, literally, a boat race to get to the dolphins. All boats circled the dolphins and we were yelled to jump… by the time we and everyone else hit the water, the dolphins had been scared and submerged. We found ourselves in the water getting hit or avoiding being hit by the boats. We were asked to get quickly on the boat so we could chase the dolphins and repeat. By the second attempt there were just too many boats and we knew it was not safe nor worth to jump in the water at this point. In addition the dolphins were scared so they remain swimming on the bottom of the ocean. We felt awful for the dolphins! After this we went snorkeling. The experience was good but again too many boats and people. We snorkeled for about 15 minutes. When we returned to the boat, we were offered pineapple, papaya, ripe avocado, and small bananas which were just cut without any sanitary consideration, while we were swimming and placed in a tray on the floor of the boat. So the tray got salt water on it almost immediately. This is raw-No napkins, no plates, no sanitary protocol. NO SANDBAR - part of the tour included the sandbar. we were told there was no sandbar because at that time of the day the water is high. Wish they have clarified this in their promotion. So we headed back to the shore where we were dropped at a beach to get transported back to our hotel - under other circumstances I would have come to terms and accepted the disappointing experience but with a price tag of $135 per person - it is a rip off.

Pay attention - We booked the Tour in Kiwengwa with Consiglio, i saw the Dolphins the very first time. Unfortunately, nothing remained of the initially positive impression. More than 15 boats were chasing them, jump in for a minute and go out hunting all over again. The snorkling was even worse i have never seen something similar! Destroyed the corales with the anchores! How you can earn such good money with such damage to nature in 2024 remains a mystery to me. The guides, agencies, hotels and even Tripadvisor should be fined for this.

Dolphin hunting - I don't recommend going there, it's more like a dolphin hunt than diving with the locals with their boat, chasing them and throwing the tourists into the water. When there are some we find ourselves in a war scene they are scared no pleasure. It was horrible. I have been a diver for 40 years and have been diving. I've never seen a dolphin approach us, it films the boats, that's all.

horrible, sad and cruel - Horrible ! A dolphin hunt, more than thirty boats full of tourists chasing the dolphins screaming and in a cloud of gasoline smell. The dolphins tried to escape, they could only breathe quickly and dove again to escape. This should be banned! We asked to go back without swimming, the only thing missing was the harpoons, really sad. It is absolutely necessary that local authorities regulate this type of activity!

Horrible experience.... - Horrible experience. Driver came 1h late. We were with the dolphin not even 5 minutes. I would not recommand this trip. It’s actually worth 0 start !
