How to get there - Stone Town
Arrival in Stone Town, Zanzibar
Steps: Stone Town
Arrival in Stone Town, the capital of Unguja, the main island of Zanzibar. After a strenuous journey, you rest and go for a walk in the old town to soak up the island's oriental and African atmosphere. You go to a club to choose the spots where you want to dive the next day. In the afternoon, you visit the palaces of the Sultans
Diving off Stone Town
Steps: Bawe Island
There are plenty of places to explore from Stone Town by boat. Particularly around the islands that form a chain off the capital (Prison Island, Nyange Island, Murogo Island, Bawe Island, etc.). Let the professionals guide you on your first dive in the tropical waters of the Indian Ocean around Zanzibar.
Diving in Tumbatu and Mnemba
Steps: Nungwi
For this second day, we advise you to stay in Nungwi, quite in the north of the island, the second largest city in Unguja. You can explore the coral reefs around the island of Tumbatu just in front of the city. And of course the highlight of diving in Zanzibar: the island of Mnemba, the most famous (but also very popular) spot in the east of the island
Diving in Missali, Pemba
Steps: Misali Island
You take an early flight the next day from Unguja airport to Pemba Island. The flight lasts half an hour, but then the road is hilly enough to get to the hotels. In the afternoon, you will dive around the wonderful island of Missali, with its marine beauties still totally preserved. You rest in the evening after this marathon day
Diving in the north Pemba
Steps: Michamvi Kae
You take the day off to explore the most famous seabed in the north of the island, because here off Ras Michamvi Point (where most of Pemba's diving clubs are located) there is another string of islands surrounded by coral reefs: Njao, Fundo, Uvinje and Kokota. So many incredible diving spots to observe the marine fauna and flora
Diving in Mafia, Chole Bay
Steps: Île De Mafia
The next day, you leave very early by plane, to reach Dar es Salaam, a mandatory stopover for the island of Mafia, so protected from mass tourism. In the afternoon, dive to Chole Bay and its islands, as close as possible to the hotels. You are alone in the world, you enjoy walking on the seabed without being invaded by hordes of divers
