Very good experience.

Unbelievable. It was like 10h, as he suggested eating on a super cool beach, there were 2 restaurants and we chose the baraka. Typical food very good, and lobster from 9 dollars. The experience with the dolphins was great, I had them less than half a meter, and the turtles a show. Although he did not get a guide in Spanish, we did not lack anything. Very attentive and a very pleasant trip. It communicates in advance by WhatsApp.

Very nice tour and very nice driver

Very nice driver, I can only recommend. Only on the beaches I would have liked a little more time, but I also have to say that my hotel was at the other end of Zanzibar and we already had a round trip time of over 3 hours to the beaches. Had it been closer, we probably could have spent more time on the beaches.

Do not recommend

Very low value for money Guide seems unhappy to be there, does not speak unless spoken too, agenda of the day is unclear and the start was very chaotic. The second part of the day consisting of walking along kendwa and nungwi beaches. The overall experience felt very cheap and unprepared.

Not quite as advertised, but still a worthwhile experience

For us personally, the most interesting part of the day was the very beginning when we went snorkeling. That was amazing, although there were a ton of other boats out at the same time, so it wasn't a private experience at all. But the fish were amazing, and my guide Mzii, was very helpful. However, it made me nervous that I wasn't offered a life jacket or fins. I'm not a great swimmer and the water was choppy, so I was nervous. Thankfully, I did well (much to my surprise, honestly). We also enjoyed feeding the turtles at the "aquarium", which is not an aquarium in the Western sense. But it felt a bit exploitative, and I questioned the ethicality of being in the water with the turtles. There wasn't much else to the rest of the day, and lunch was not included. There was never anything private except the transfers and the boat ride. The beaches are all very crowded. But our guides were lovely and we really enjoyed them, and the views were beautiful.

Hidden Beaches and Good Vibes

Our friends’ day out with Becka turned into one of our favorite Zanzibar memories. Snorkeling near Mnemba felt like swimming in an aquarium and we even spotted dolphins. Feeding turtles at Baraka was unexpectedly fun and exploring the Nungwi village added a cool local touch. Ending the day chilling on Kendwa Beach was perfect.

Stop Scrolling - this is the trip to take in Zanzibar!

The trip was excellent - full of memories to reflect back on in the coming years. The excursions started with Beke picking me up at 6:00am at the recommendation of the Captain of the dolphin trip. It turned out to be an excellent recommendation because we were in the water before so many other boats and I had a chance to see multiple sightings of dolphins. I had a ln opportunity to snorkel in the beautiful Indian Ocean but declined - I just wasn’t feeling getting wet. But the entire experience was surreal- out on the water (Indian Ocean) in a fast boat, watching for Dolphins. From there we visited a few beaches which were beautiful - white sand and gorgeous water. The beach was one of the most beautiful I’ve experienced. We finished up our day at the turtle conservation where I had a chance tho declined to swim with the turtles. I did feed them and learned some interesting tidbits about them. The guide, Dukee, was excellent. After the final excursion, Beke dropped me at a local restaurant which was fabulous. I am vegetarian tho the offerings were extensive - fish and chicken entrees, wraps, smoothies, grilled vegetables, etc. I had the vegetable wrap with fries, and a tropical juice. The food was prepared from scratch - I could tell. I don’t know the last time I had fresh French fries from freshly cut potatoes. The taste was excellent and portion size more than sufficient. I actually took a to go bag. The price was very reasonable. My meal with the juice was right at $8.00 US. Beke, the owner, was incredibly flexible throughout the trip. I am a fickle client. Beke communicated with me throughout the excursions, ensuring that my experience was tailored to meet my expectations. I so appreciated his flexibility. He was personable, professional and made me feel safe as a solo traveler. I would highly recommend this company for excursions. Cheers, Beke!

Great time

Such a great day. Beka was very warm and friendly. Swimming with dolphins looked so unreal. Be ready to wake early in the morning but you wont be disappointed. The beaches we've visited were amazing. We would definitely recommend this tour.
