Swimming with dolphins - Very special day in which we were able to see our daughter swim with dolphins and see them as close as we had never been able to see before. Moody our guide prepared us a DELICIOUS fruit tray that we enjoyed on the boat...

Beautiful experience - We saw dolphins and many fish in the ocean. That day is big wave and wind, so dolphins dive deep. But I could see, thanks for guiding. I want to go again and see more dolphins!

Fantastic experience - Fantastic experience, we initially booked only the private tour to the Memba atoll from Italy and then on site we decided to also do the spice tour, guided tour of Stone Town and Blue Safari with him. Impeccable service, always punctual, available for any request, even for small changes to make the tours suitable for our needs. In addition to the service, the price was also excellent, they gave us a nice discount for purchasing multiple packages 👌 Super recommended 💪

Highly Recommend - This entire experience was incredible. Mody was kind and patient. We went with our 6 year old son and he thoroughly enjoyed it. We ended up booking another excursion with Mody based on this great tour. The food was also amazing. 10/10

Breathtaking snorkeling trip to Mnemba Atoll with Mody - The snorkeling trip to Mnemba Atoll was breathtaking. On the way there, Mody told us lots of interesting facts about Zanzibar and was always available to answer questions. Since Mody snorkeled with us, he was able to guide us to the beautiful and worth seeing places underwater and show us the wonderful underwater world. On the way back, there was also fresh fruit - which was simply delicious. We also made a short stop on the sandbank and were able to look at some starfish up close and take a few photos. The trip was rounded off with lunch - we have never eaten such good seafood. Simply wow! We can highly recommend Mody.

Snorkelling trip - We were collected on time from our hotel and taken the short journey to where we were picked up by our guide for the boat trip. We first went out to see the dolphins. Although we loved to see the dolphin we found it a little upsetting as there were numerous boats chasing after them to get as close as possible. Our guide noticed my daughter was upset and kindly left the area to go snorkelling. The fish were wonderful and we saw a wide variety. Our guide had brought some bread along for us to feed to them which was a nice touch and amazing experience to have lots of fish feeding from our hands. It was a little crowded however and I imagine going early in the day would be better. Afterwards we were provided with a seafood lunch which included lobster. This was far nicer than the lobster we had previously had in an expensive restaurant! My daughter said the chips were also the best she had had in a while. Overall this trip was a great experience and would highly recommend it .

Crowded and touristy - Extremely crowded with aggressive boat drivers chasing down dolphins. I very much regret booking this. It is so crowded that it does not feel safe. My husband was hit by a boat while snorkeling.
