The island itself is private with very expensive fees for entrance, but you can stop with the boat nearby and enjoy the coral reef and its beautiful underwater life. It’s also quite easy to spot dolphins 🐬 Unfortunately the area gets quickly crowded with boats of tourists, so I suggest to plan the trip wisely in quiet hours.

Beautiful, Extraordinary and Splendid. This place is heaven, took Dolphins and Snorkeling tour in Mnemba Island, where we were taken on a boat in the early morning to swim with dolphins and it was an amazing experience to swim with Dolphins and Whale Shark, then went to snorkeling at the public snorkeling spot where we were able to snorkeling and collect Starfish and watch colorful small fish. The color of the ocean alone made us speechless and didn’t want gaze away for the view, the tour lasted 4 hours in total, make sure you take along your snorkeling equipment and diving flipper if you want to swim with the Dolphins although they provide the equipment at the shore. Make sure you have anti jellyfish cream or spray on or get a full body diving suit to avoid jellyfish stings in some spots.
