Frequently Asked Questions
Dolphins are wild animals, so sightings can never be 100% guaranteed. However, Kizimkazi is one of the best spots in Zanzibar to see dolphins, and we have a very high success rate - especially with the early morning start when dolphins are most active. Your guide knows exactly where to look.
If conditions are right and the dolphins are calm, your guide will give you the opportunity to get in the water and swim alongside them. It's an incredible experience, but we always prioritise the dolphins' comfort and safety - your guide will assess the situation on the day.
The early start gives us the best chance of finding dolphins. They are most active in the morning, and the sea tends to be calmer. You'll be back at your hotel by mid-morning with the rest of the day ahead of you.
Yes, you'll have your own private boat and guide for the dolphin watching experience. Your hotel transfers are also private and comfortable.
Yes! Life jackets and snorkeling equipment are provided. You can enjoy watching the dolphins from the boat even if you prefer not to get in the water.
Yes! We offer a popular combo that adds the full Pungume Island experience - snorkeling at coral reefs, a seafood lunch on a sandbank, and the mangrove coast - at a discounted price. It makes for an unforgettable full day on the water.
We recommend bringing swim wear, a towel, sunscreen, and a camera. Snorkeling equipment and life jackets are provided by us.
Yes. Children aged 3–7 can join at a reduced rate. The dolphin experience is a real highlight for kids, though please note the early start time when planning.
Safety comes first. We always check the weather forecast the evening before and if conditions are too rough, we'll offer you the choice to reschedule to another day or receive a full refund. Please note that weather on Zanzibar can change quickly, so on rare occasions conditions may shift once a tour is already underway.
Tips are not included in the tour price but are always appreciated by your guide and boat crew if you enjoyed the experience.
Yes, the tour can be cancelled up to 24 hours before the start time. Just send us a message on WhatsApp or an email with your booking reference and we will issue a full refund to the original payment method.
The remaining 80% can be paid after the tour in cash (we accept euros, dollars and tanzanian shillings with their respective rates) or by card in advance (+5% fee). If you would like to pay by card please let us know the day before the tour.
Alternatively, you can pay the full amount by card when booking without any fees.
