Discover the most spectacular, colorful & untouched marine life of the Zanzibar archipelago onboard in semi-submarines and speedboats.
Zanzibar Submarine -The Reef & Beach Tour
Arrive at Forodhani gardens for professional safety briefing at our fully acclimatized departure lounge 30 min. before departure time.
After the briefing, your guide will escort you to the to the submarine boarding platform via our inflatable shuttle boat (RIB). Depending on the tide level, you’ll be boarding the shuttle boat either at the nearby stairs or at the close beach.
Your cruise to the coral reef will take about 30 minutes. We recommend you to remain on the upper deck at the beginning, where your guide will provide information about Zanzibar’s history, nearby islands and Stone Town. You are free to stay on the upper or lower deck during the tour. Once you approach the reef, your guide will advise you to move to the lower deck to start exploring the marine life through our large unbreakable windows, accompanied by fish/coral charts and guide’s explanations.
After approximately 1.5 hours our speedboat will pick you for the nearby sandbank adventure, where you will meet our hospitality staff and the designated picnic tent.
