Kizimkazi Dolphin Tour

The southern village of Kizimkazi is famous for its resident pods of bottlenose and humpback dolphins that can be observed year-round. This tour offers a responsible way to encounter these intelligent marine mammals in their natural environment.

Your dolphin adventure includes:

• Early morning departure to maximize dolphin sighting opportunities when they are most active
• Transportation to Kizimkazi fishing village on Zanzibar's southern coast
• Boat trip to dolphin hotspots with experienced local guides who understand dolphin behavior
• Opportunities to observe dolphins swimming, playing, and hunting in their natural habitat
• For confident swimmers, a chance to enter the water and snorkel near these magnificent creatures
• Educational commentary about dolphin species, behavior, and conservation efforts
• Visit to coral reefs for additional snorkeling after the dolphin encounter

We practice responsible dolphin tourism by following international guidelines: maintaining safe distances, limiting time spent with each pod, never feeding the dolphins, and allowing them to approach boats by choice rather than chasing them.

While dolphin sightings are very common (over 90% success rate), these are wild animals and encounters cannot be guaranteed. The experience depends on sea conditions and dolphin behavior on the day. Our guides are experts at finding dolphins while respecting their natural patterns.

After the dolphin excursion, you'll have time to snorkel at nearby coral reefs and relax on beautiful beaches before returning to your hotel. This tour combines wildlife encounters with marine adventure for an unforgettable Zanzibar experience.
