Take a boat trip near Mnemba off Zanzibar's northeast coast, where bottlenose and spinner dolphins are sometimes seen. Watch from the vessel as the animals surface or move through the water.

Give dolphins space to choose their own movement. Do not chase, feed, touch or enter the water to pursue them. Swimming with dolphins is not part of this experience, and sightings are not guaranteed.
