Amazing Zanzibar with Ismail - I have wanted to visit Zanzibar since I was a kid. We got to do it this summer. I contacted them via WhatsApp and created a custom itinerary including stone town tour, Nakupenda and Safari Blue. Ocho was our driver from the airport pickup to airport drop off. What a great driver. What an amazing trip. It was as planned and Ismail was our guide and it was perfect! I would highly recommend Ismail and the team. Don't hesitate, Do it !

Great trip in a beautiful area. - Great trip in a beautiful area. Friendly crew, fresh fruits, snorkeling on well perserved corrals and great food. Blue Lagoon was an excellent way to end a great day at sea. The guide was very friendly and had great knowledge of the area. Bring your own snorkeling equipment if you can.

The best tour in Zanzibar - So far the best tour in Zanzibar, it's a must!!! Prepare yourself for the long journey depends where you are on the island can take 1h30m just to arrive the place to take the boat! Advice to take your snorkel instead of using the one they have there. We pass through amazing places mangrove, sandbank, baoba island go early to enjoy as much as you can of those natural beauties, keep the cameras out and strike your pose!!!

Lots of opportunities for getting in the water! - Full day trip. Swam at a sandbar, snorkelling x2 stops ( pretty good coral and fish but Blue Lagoon better if you only have time for 1 trip ) and swim at mangrove area. Great BBQ lunch and time for more swimming if you wished. Don't be put off by the number of people in each boat as you arrive, you spend most of the time in the water / on the beach. Everyone very friendly and it was well organised

A slightly chaotic but very fun day in a paradisiacal setting. - A day full of color, music and lots of entertainment in a paradisiacal setting. We couldn't have been luckier with the group we were integrated into. Families from Tanzania and Kenya who made us feel at home with their friendliness and good disposition. On the negative side, we only have to point out the guide's lack of experience and commitment, which made the organization of everything seem a little chaotic.

Great staff and food but hmm - We signed up for the full day trip and we’re rather shocked to see how many people would be out on boats that day. Our boat only had 12 but by the time you get to the destinations eg sandbank, snorkelling it’s full of people which is a shame. Food was really good and the staff were helpful and kind. Our dhow had a rather a serious leak on the return so they spent a lot of it pumping out water. These things really ought not happen on a very expensive day out. Credit to the staff and food but the operation is a bit too mass market for us.

sailing in the Dhow and bbq excellent but check how much snorkelling you will do on the day in question - Everything was as expected and the trip in the Dhow was lovely and the bbq on the beach was exceptional but we expected three stops for snorkelling and we only had one for about 1/2 hour . We were told that this was because of the higher tide than usual because of the full moon - but that information is available before the day and I would have liked to have had the chance to decide whether we still wanted to go or whether we did something else As for us, snorkelling was the main sim if the day .

1 star for overall experience - We payed through trip advisor for the trip almost 220$( 2 persons), wich we tought that would be ok. Right after someone local wrote me that I should pay 70$ more for the taci, because is too far from the meeting spot, with a mention here that nothing regarding this was in the advertised tour. Also, we tried to cancel it, but it wasn’t possible, because we booked the trip with 10 h before it. Also, I did not manage to get help from tripadvisor, so, another draw back. The tour was decent, bank sand, snorkeling spot, good grilled food and baobab tree, but it was very crowdy duting the whole tour. There after we discussed some fellow tour mates we found out that the tour costed them around 100-120$ ( 2 persons) so we payed 170-190$ more than the other. A total disgrace! 0 stars, Highly not recommended!

disappointing activity - This Blue safari is certainly not worth the money. You are on a boat with too many people, then with all the passengers of all boats on a mini island and the snorkelling is also disappointing because all those boats demolish the little coral that is there with their anchors. We also had to deal with a sinking boat, partly due to the poor mooring capabilities of the captain. As a result, the boat sank. That was at the beach, but the sinking could also have happened in the middle of the sea: how unsafe is that.

Just don't do it. Unsafe conditions. - Always do a boat trip and snorkeling trip on every holiday we have around the world and this was by far the worst. Info states that if weather is bad then it will be cancelled. The weather was very bad but they had no intention of cancelling, the boat trip to the sandbank (deserted island) took nearly 1.5 hours through rough seas that made everyone feel unsafe and unwell and there must have been 40 boats full of people so not deserted. This also just seemed to be a break for the staff who took the chance to relieve themselves everywhere you looked peeing everywhere. Snorkeling was awful with not much to see and was only for 30 minutes, I have seen more from the beach of the hotel. Then moved onto the disappearing island for food which was OK and to see the famous baobab tree if you could get past the hordes of people to get a picture. So in simple terms you are paying to travel 3 hours round trip for a small lunch with a small bottle of water (other drinks were extra) and see a tree covered and surrounded in people. Some of our party asked to be taken back but this was not an option for the crew. Last but not least we had 22 people on our boat including the crew and only 4 life jackets. The faster this island dissappears the better. Getting in and out of the boat was also unsafe and unsuitable for weaker people
