Overview

Mnemba Atoll sits just off Zanzibar\’s northeastern tip, its surrounding reef widely regarded as the best snorkeling and diving site in the archipelago. The island itself is privately leased, but its waters are open to day visitors on guided snorkeling and diving excursions, drawing dolphins, turtles, and an exceptional variety of reef fish in clear, calm water.
