Do I need diving certification to join this tour?

No. The itinerary includes both snorkeling and discovery scuba options. Certified divers can do advanced or deep dives; beginners can take a PADI course or stick to snorkeling. Your marine guide will match activities to your experience level.

What's the difference between the dolphin encounter and the semi-submersible experience on Day 3?

The ethical dolphin encounter is a guided wet experience with a marine expert observing wild dolphins in their habitat. The semi-submersible is a dry-compartment vessel allowing you to view underwater life through windows—ideal if seas are rough or you prefer non-swimming observation.

Are meals and drinks included in the price?

Yes. The tour includes gourmet dining (private beach dinners, in-villa meals, private sandbank seafood lunch) and champagne service throughout. Beverages and all meals are covered in the quoted price per person.

Is this tour private or will I share with other guests?

The experience is fully private for your group of 2–4 guests. You have exclusive use of the luxury yacht, speedboats, and dedicated marine concierge and instructors; no mixing with other tour groups.

What's included in the price, and what do I arrange separately?

Included: luxury yacht, speedboats, jet skis, all water activities, meals, beverages, professional instructors, and transfers to/from the yacht. Not included: your Zanzibar accommodation and final-day transport to your hotel or airport (though private transfer can be arranged).

Reef-safe sunscreen (SPF 50+), polarised sunglasses, a rash guard or wetsuit (optional for comfort), underwater camera, prescription goggles if needed, and a light cover-up. All water sports equipment (snorkels, dive gear, jet ski vests) is provided.

our guide Noa was brilliant and a stop the guide added on the fly was the highlight, and over easter break.

our guide Nadia had so many stories and a little local spot off the usual route was the highlight. Last day of the trip so it wasnt too busy. Miles ahead of a similar tour we tried in crete, and for our anniversary. Would book again no question.

our guide Hana had so many stories and a stop the guide added on the fly was the highlight ... For our anniversary so it wasnt too busy. On a rainy sunday, and spot on for a couples day out, and 6 stops in about 3 hours. Would book again no question.
