This stunning coral atoll was recently declared a marine conservation area, offering a unique opportunity to both divers and snorkellers to experience the best of Zanzibar’s underwater world.

The surrounding waters are teaming with an overwhelming number of beautiful tropical reef fish, and a wealth of marine creatures, from the majestic whale shark to rare gem-like species of nudibranchs. Large pelagic creatures can often be seen passing by in the blue, and green turtles graze peacefully amongst the heads of plate and honeycomb corals. A resident pod of curious bottle-nosed dolphins offer the chance for visitors to interact with these splendid marine mammals in a natural and spontaneous environment.
