Pungume Island Dhow Trip from Kizimkazi – Snorkeling, Sandbank & Seafood BBQ

Description

Experience a unique Pungume Island dhow trip from Kizimkazi, one of the most peaceful and unspoiled Zanzibar island tours, perfect for travelers seeking nature, relaxation, and authentic ocean adventures. Sail aboard a traditional dhow across the open Indian Ocean toward a stunning sandbank, with frequent chances to spot dolphins in their natural habitat, always approached respectfully and without chasing. Upon arrival, enjoy time to swim and relax on the sandbank while a fresh seafood BBQ lunch is prepared on board, including rice, salad, Swahili curry, samosas, and tropical fruits, with chicken available on request. The journey continues with snorkeling in crystal-clear waters, exploring colorful marine life, and—depending on the tide—visiting wild creeks and mangrove areas, before sailing back to Kizimkazi in the afternoon, making this one of the best dhow snorkeling trips in southern Zanzibar for couples, families, and nature lovers.
