Set out from Stone Town for a unique underwater experience around Bawe Island, off Zanzibar’s west coast. The semi-submarine remains afloat, with a viewing cabin below the waterline. From your window seat, look out at the coral reef and marine life while a guide shares insights about the underwater world. You can also enjoy the ocean breeze from the upper deck before heading below to view the reef without needing to swim or snorkel.

Plan this experience
Duration: approximately 1 hour; minimum age may apply. By arrangement; confirm current availability, suitability, guiding, access and written inclusions.
All activities are by arrangement. Availability, permits, park rules, guiding, equipment, access, timings, minimum ages, meals and inclusions must be confirmed for the actual dates and group. Sea conditions, tides, weather and seasonal wildlife can change the plan. Wildlife sightings and natural events are never guaranteed.
Travel with respect
Let local hosts lead community visits, seek consent for photographs and follow guide and site instructions. Observe wildlife without feeding, touching, chasing or disturbing it, and leave coral, plants and heritage objects undisturbed.
