About us
A Zanzibar family of guides and captains.
Sharing the magic of our island waters — one smile at a time.
Our story
Just being your smile.
Zanzibar Dolphin Tours began with a simple love for the sea around Mnemba Island and Kizimkazi. Today we welcome travellers from all over the world for daily dolphin, snorkeling, sea turtle and sunset dhow experiences.
Dolphins are wild and never 100% guaranteed, but it's rare to miss them — around 85% of our trips meet them. What we do guarantee is a warm, personal day on the water.

Our promise to every guest
01
Respect for the ocean

Private or shared, seafood lunch or snacks — your day is planned around your wishes.
03
Local & experienced
Born on the island, our captains and guides know every reef, tide and quiet bay.

An unforgettable morning swimming alongside dolphins at Mnemba. The crew were so respectful of the animals and so kind to us.
