chichi is the best - Ask for Chi-Chi, he is a good guy. U can negotiate with him but his prices are fair and he is a really nice guy. It was a nice trip, they waited for us on the sandbank and always nice and polite.

Great day trip with ChiChi - Great guy, very friendly and made a fun boat trip with snorkeling and beach stay. We saw a lot of fish and dolphins and could swim with them. Afterwards we went to a area with turtles which was also great

Best trip ever! - I recently joined the Half Day Dolphin Snorkeling Tour at Mnemba Island, and it was an unforgettable experience! The tour was well-organized, and the team ensured that we had plenty of time to enjoy the beautiful marine life. Snorkeling alongside dolphins in such clear waters was magical. What made the experience even better was our guide. Their expertise, kindness, and knowledge of the area truly stood out. If you’re looking for the best guide to elevate your Zanzibar adventures, I highly recommend contacting +255 773 653 125. They made the trip even more special, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Very nice! - Very nice trip! Certainly one to recommend. Chichi and Adam did everything to make it a spectacular one! The dolphins, snorkelling and especially fruits in the shallow waters of Mnemba island was a fantastic experience. Thanks again Chichi!!!

Must do experience! - This was probably one of the best experiences I’ve ever done! Our guide, Chichi, was great as he did his best to ensure we saw the dolphins. You can either swim or just look at the dolphins from the boat. We decided to snorkel with them which was epic. It was also great because our guide took some videos for us on our phone so we could just enjoy the experience whilst capturing it for our memories. We also did the sand bank and fish snorkelling. We were also provided with fruit and water on the trip. 10/10 recommend to anyone visiting Zanzibar! We also did a tour of stone town, prison island and the turtle swimming with the same guide on different days. Great guy!

Mmemba island trip - A good professionally organized trip despite rough sea. We could both snorkel followed by Chi Chi’s assistant and swim with dolphins. Our safety was a priority. Fruits fresh and nice. Can definitely recommend Chi Chi as a trustworthy partner.

Brilliant trip - Incredible trip and we were very pleased to not only see dolphins but get up close and swim with them. CHICHI was a very good host and took care of all needs and ensured we got up close with the Dolphins.

Amazing snorkelling trip - It was a super exciting experience for the whole family (two adults and two kids 10 and 14 years old). The trip had three stops: swimming with dolphins, snorkelling in coral gardens with plenty of colourful fish, and searching for starfish. Every stop was great. We never thought we could swim so close to dolphins. If we were lucky we had them even 1 m from us. Chichi and his captain were very patient with us and searched for the best places to see them as close as possible. They always told us when was the right time to jump into the water to have the best views and experience swimming next to them. Truly amazing! Coral gardens were beautiful with tons of colourful fish around us (sometimes also thanks to the food our captain used to entice them). During the last stop near Mnemba Island, our captain was diving and bringing the starfish on the board. Within less than 5 minutes he has collected four of them. We had a great time with Chichi and his captain during this trip. Chichi is very friendly, and flexible, and provides good tips for snorkelling. He has a very good price (much cheaper than in our hotel). Moreover, we had a private boat only for our family which was also cool. The fruit he offered (pineapple and watermelon) was the best we have tasted during our stay in Zanzibar. We can only recommend going with Chichi for this trip!

Great boat ride! - Friendly crew! Dedicated to making this experience as good as possible. No dolphins seen in the afternoon. Crew said Dolphins usually only seen in the early morning. We did see colorful and beautiful fish near the sand bar. Water was a bit choppy. Didn’t feel safe to see the coral in deeper water areas. Wish there were life jackets on our skiff. Only 2 of the ten boats out on the water looked like they carried life jackets.
