EXCELLENT Based on 246 reviews Posted on hpdf85Verified Superbe ! L’équipage était très gentil, le bateau typique de Zanzibar était tout neuf et Léa cuisine servie à bord était délicieuse. Nous avons vu les dauphins, nagé parmi les poissons. Malgré le temps pluvieux, ce fut une très belle journée.Posted on SaraVerified Fantastisk tur, ett minne för livet Fantastisk dag med kritvita sandbankar, underbara bad och snorkling. Båten är mysigt inredd med härliga kuddar. Besättningen var väldigt trevlig och gjorde allt för att vi skulle få en fin dag. Maten var dessutom gudomlig och seglingen hem var så avkopplande. En dag att minnas. Rekommenderas varmt!Posted on Lena LVerified Super nice owner We were supposed to go on a full day more you but got acute stomach flu.The contact with Julia has been amazing and sure that the excursion too had been there. We'll get back to you.Posted on Mikumi dreamVerified Beautiful sandbank Beautiful sandbank trip. We are very happy to choose this trip compared to other sandbanks which was full of people. Food was also very good 👍🏼Posted on Rahmani zVerified Very happy Very very beautiful sandbank. We passed by the nakupenda sandbank on the way and it was full of people. We are very happy we choose this trip which goes to another more empty and hidden sandbank 😍Posted on LisaVerified Mnemba Boat Tour We absolutely loved our trip on a traditional Dhow to Mnemba! The water at the sandbank where we stopped was crystal clear and absolutely beautiful. The team made sure we were well fed (extremely delicious BBQ lunch) and taken care off. It was an amazing experience and would recommend everyone to book with Dream Dhow of you find yourself in Zanzibar 😍😊Posted on jennylkbyrneVerified Amazing day out. Best ethical, hard working and attentive crew in Zanzibar! This excursion is absolutely fantastic! We booked the boat privately for 6 women and a child at a price which was more than reasonable for the experience. First of all the boat crew of 3 were brilliant and very hard working. They were attentive but not overbearing and gave us pleanty of space while making sure we had everything we needed. They communicated really well about the places we were visiting and what we were doing next and were especially kind and helpful as we had a young child with us. They mean it when they so no dolphin chase, they told us before we set sail that’s not we are going to do as it is not safe for the dolphins and having later passed by the dolphin chase to get to our destination we were equally glad not to be a part of it. We did get to see them and we respected them from a distance.We stopped at a reef for snorkelling equipment and life jackets were provided.Lunch was really lovely and varied. They catered for one of our guests who was vegan. There were plenty of snacks and drinks on board. We anchored down at the sandbank and enjoyed the ocean for a couple of hours. It was really chilled out and relaxed.We ended the day by sailing back to the beach for sunset. Wonderful day out and I would 100% do it again (as would all of my fellow travellers) with Dream Dhow when we go back to Zanzibar!Posted on Eric SVerified Mnemba island cruise We had the best day on the dhow, with snorkeling, dolphins, great lunch and finally an amazing sunset by the beach! Great personell with a professional approach to the sea and animals.Posted on Hampus BVerified Mnemba Island Fantastic day at sea with Dream Dhow.Snorkeling 🤿, sandbank and dolphins 🐬.The food prepared on the boat was amazing.Respect for wildlife at sea gives an extra plus to the company and employees!5/5.Posted on HM PVerified Mnemba with dhow Great tour with lovely staff and good food. Owners consider coral reefs and dolphins and staff. 4 instead of 5 because we stopped so far from the sandbank that it was too far for me to get there. But we saw it.
