Snorkeling in Zanzibar
Hi all! Just wondering if anyone here had the experience with snorkelling or diving in Zanzibar? Can you see all the colourful sea fish? and how much is it usually? I guess I'd ask the resort for it, but if you have a company to recommend, id like to check that out.
Also, I heard about the blue safari, do they show u dolphins as well? I'm going to Zanzi for honeymoon in 10 days, can't wait!

We really enjoyed our snorkelling and diving from Zanzibar. We stayed at Matemwe on the northeast coast and all our activity was from a boat on the reefs of Mnemba Island. The corals were fantastic and we had some great sightings. (On the same trip we went to the Maldives and the Seychelles - and for sea life Zanzibar was better than the latter and not far behind the former.)
Massive disclaimer: this was more than 15 years ago and I have no idea how the corals have been affected by bleaching in Zanzibar. Parts of the Maldives (which I have visited many times since) have been decimated in recent years.
