Begin your unforgettable Zanzibar adventure with a comfortable hotel pickup and transfer to Kikungwi, where your ocean escape begins. Set out across Zanzibar's turquoise waters towards the spectacular Pungume Island, combining adventure, discovery, relaxation and the natural beauty of the southern Zanzibar coast.
Your journey may also bring an exciting wildlife encounter along the way. During the late July to September period, humpback whales are sometimes spotted in the surrounding waters as they migrate from the southern hemisphere with their calves. The warm, calm waters around this part of Zanzibar can provide a favourable environment for mothers and their young to rest and nurse before continuing their migration. For this reason, the area is sometimes referred to locally as a humpback whale nursing area. Whale sightings are seasonal and occur naturally, so encounters cannot be guaranteed.
The ocean can offer another surprise too. White dolphins and bottlenose dolphins may sometimes be encountered while travelling towards Pungume Island or on the return journey. Seeing these magnificent wild animals in their natural environment can add an unforgettable moment to an already spectacular day. As with all wildlife encounters, sightings depend entirely on nature and cannot be guaranteed.
Once you reach the snorkelling area, dive into Zanzibar's underwater world with provided snorkelling equipment and a guided experience around vibrant coral reefs. Discover colourful tropical fish, fascinating marine life and the clear waters of the Pungume area.
