Beautiful experience with Khamis

Holiday in Zanzibar with a fantastic tourguide!
We had Khamis as a guide. We booked the day before a snorkel experience with a group and met him. He was so enthousiastic that we asked him if it was possible to book him as a private guide the day after.We texted what we wanted and he took care of everything! From pick up from our hotel, snorkel experience, dolphin swimming and sand bank and after that he and the taxi driver drove us to the new hotel we booked. We really enjoyed it so much!!! We would defenitely recommand that you book with Kamish. He was showing us everything we wanted and more in the water. It was fantastic!!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 🌴😊 It was truly a pleasure to be your guide and spend such a memorable day with you. I’m very happy to hear that you enjoyed the snorkeling, dolphin experience, sandbank, and the whole private tour. Thank you also for trusting me to organize everything according to what you wanted, including the hotel pickup and transfer to your new hotel. I’m especially glad that I could show you more than you expected and help make your Zanzibar experience special. Your kind words and recommendation mean a lot to me. I hope you will always remember your day in Zanzibar with a big smile, and I hope to welcome you back again in the future! 🌊🐬🏝️ Warm regards, Khamis Destiny Zanzibar Tour and Safaris Zanzibar

An Incredible Excursion with the Best Guides in Zanzibar!
An unforgettable experience from beginning to end! Communication was top-notch right from the start; Yussuf reached out prior to the tour to coordinate details and answer our questions. Upon meeting us, Khamis gave a brilliant breakdown of the day's schedule and made sure we felt completely prepared. Heading down to the water, Captain Mzii took us out to Mnemba Island where the real adventure began. We chased the dolphins to get great action shots on my GoPro, and Mzii expertly managed to get some stunning close-up footage of them swimming right alongside us. We then relaxed on a gorgeous sandbank eating fresh fruit, headed back for a delicious lunch with Khamis, and finished the itinerary by feeding the sea turtles at the local aquarium. It was such an exciting and well-coordinated excursion with an amazing team of three guides looking after us every step of the way!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review. We hope to see you at the next vacations. Khamis.

Absolutely Unforgettable
We had the most incredible full-day excursion, packed with truly once-in-a-lifetime experiences. From swimming with dolphins and relaxing at the sandbar, to snorkelling in crystal-clear water, enjoying a stunning seafood lunch, and swimming and feeding the turtles - every moment was memorable. Our guide, Khamis, was excellent - knowledgeable, calm and so well organised. Yussuf, our driver, was professional and reliable throughout the day. On the boat, Mzii and Jefferey were experienced, attentive and made us feel completely safe at all times. The staff at the turtle sanctuary were exceptional - genuinely caring and a solid 10/10. A perfectly run excursion, packed from start to finish, and highly recommended.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your good reviews. We hope to see you next time. Thank you. Khamis

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full day: Snorkeling Dolphin Aquarium Turtles Sunset Kendwa Beach: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dar es Salaam.
How much does Full day: Snorkeling Dolphin Aquarium Turtles Sunset Kendwa Beach cost?
+
Prices start at $130 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dar es Salaam usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Full day: Snorkeling Dolphin Aquarium Turtles Sunset Kendwa Beach take?
+
Plan for about 8.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dar es Salaam is not rushed.
Is Full day: Snorkeling Dolphin Aquarium Turtles Sunset Kendwa Beach worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dar es Salaam, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full day: Snorkeling Dolphin Aquarium Turtles Sunset Kendwa Beach?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Full day: Snorkeling Dolphin Aquarium Turtles Sunset Kendwa Beach suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full day: Snorkeling Dolphin Aquarium Turtles Sunset Kendwa Beach?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dar es Salaam can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dar es Salaam and add a light layer if any part of the 8.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full day: Snorkeling Dolphin Aquarium Turtles Sunset Kendwa Beach start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dar es Salaam within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Dar es Salaam?
+
On Outty we rank every Dar es Salaam experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 2 nights 3 days safari to mikumi national park, 1-Day Mikumi National Park Fly-In Safari from Zanzibar, 3 Days Safari to Mikumi NP - Accommodation Inside the Park. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Dar es Salaam?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Dar es Salaam?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Full day: Snorkeling Dolphin Aquarium Turtles Sunset Kendwa Beach?

Included: Entry/Admission - Mnemba Island; Entry/Admission - Baraka Natural Aquarium - Nungwi; Lunch; Air-conditioned vehicle; and Use of Snorkelling equipment. Not included: Tipping; Wheel chair; and Underwater camera. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Full day: Snorkeling Dolphin Aquarium Turtles Sunset Kendwa Beach include hotel pickup?
+

What languages is Full day: Snorkeling Dolphin Aquarium Turtles Sunset Kendwa Beach offered in?
+
