This trip was absolutely... - This trip was absolutely amazing. All the guys involved are such great people, super friendly and helpful. They collected us from our hotel and then took us to the beach where we got on a boat for a short ride to the reef and then we started snorkeling. There was so much fish and the water is so beautiful and clear I thoroughly enjoyed it. When we were ready we started moving to go look for dolphins which we found further out. I jumped in and there must have been about 40 dolphins all around me. This was truly an incredible experience. I highly recommend this trip.

A joke, unfortunately. Don’t go! - I am so sorry to say this, but this trip was extremely bad organized, we went from Paje at 7:45 (pickup-time 7:00) and returned 7 hours later.. tired and hungry, having spent maybe max 15 mins snorkeling in the sea, plus 15 mins in a sad little zoo on the way home..
I you are based in Paje there is a 2 hour car-ride to the beach close to Mnemba. There we were put in a boat after a lot of confusion, aggressive shouting and a lot of waiting. The boat had lifewests, but they we removed right before we took of (?) there were no flippers for us, so we had maybe 15 mins in the sea.. as we were drifting and it was too hard to swim back to the boat. And whoever charges 120 dollars for a snorkeling tour without offering the equipment they have announced here on Tripadvisor they will have.. ??
When we came back to the beach, the driver was gone and it took two helpful persons and 20 minutes to track him down….
No one spoke english more than very basic words, in addition..
I am usually a very positive person and traveller, but today I must admit that I will try to get my money back, which is the only proper way for the company/person behind this tour, to maintain their reputation.

Don't Book! - I don't like giving negative tours, but I want to make sure that other people aren't deceived as I was. If you are booking this tour because its the only one that states you go to the island, don't book! You do not visit the island its illegal. Also, you don't go on a yacht (as it states), you go on a small motorboat, and the reef they take you to which is a very small reef miles away from the island is not a big deal. If I wanted a small motorboat to take me to the middle of the ocean, I would have booked a much cheaper tour. I would have appreciated the truth to make a choice. Disappointed on Viator and this tour company.

Poor security - Would not recommend this operator because of lack of security. For the boat ride to Mnemba they took more people than the capacity of the boats, and there were only life vests for half of the people on board. As well, on the transport to the boats there were not enough seat belts for everyone in the car.

Unprofessional - My husband and I went on this trip two days ago. The driver was 40 minutes late unprepared (had to stop twice - to fill air in tires and gasoline in tank). He put us on a boat and the captain took us to see the dolpins and then to the coral reef. We saw dolphins, a lot of fishes, but:
- we did not have a snorkeling guide
- the captain did not speak english
- there was no water no fruits no coffee no spiced tea for us. A guide from a different agency gave us some water and watermellon
- when we complained to the driver he spoke with the operator and was told to buy us some water and fruits on the way to the hotel. Thanks, but too late.
The trip would be nice, but this one was very poorly organised.
