Chumbe Snorkeling (Gallery Tours)

The Chumbe Snorkeling (Gallery Tours) experience is offered at Chumbe Island, a natural reserve just off the coast of Zanzibar. A short boat ride away from the main island of Zanzibar, a day out at Chumbe is not complete without some snorkeling. The reef is rich in marine life, including turtles, stingrays, lobsters and schools of brilliant tropical fish.

Snorkeling equipment is provided on the island with tuition available for beginners. Walking through Chumbe’s coral rag forest, visitors can see fossilized structures in between the jungle of vines and vegetation.

Cold soda and bottles of water are complimentary throughout the day, with a selection of mouth-watering Swahili dishes for lunch freshly cooked on the island. It is recommended that visitors bring comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, sunglasses, a sun hat, and swimwear.
