A boat trip to Misali Island, a small uninhabited island off Pemba's west coast protected as a conservation area for its coral reefs, nesting sea turtles and clear water.
Misali is a small, uninhabited island fringed by reef, protected as a conservation area both for its coral and as a nesting site for green and hawksbill turtles -- one of the least-visited good snorkelling spots anywhere on the Zanzibar archipelago.
Boat crossing from Pemba's west coast out to Misali Island.
Snorkel the surrounding reef and relax on Misali's white-sand beach, which sits within a marine conservation area.
A simple picnic lunch on the island before the boat trip back to Pemba.
Short, self-contained experiences that pair well with any safari or climb.
What guests usually ask before booking this excursion.
Misali is an important nesting site for green and hawksbill turtles, and sightings while snorkelling are common, though never guaranteed.
The channel crossing is generally short and manageable, though like any boat trip it depends on the day's sea conditions.
No -- it's uninhabited and managed as a conservation area, which is part of why the reef and beach have stayed in such good condition.
Add Misali Island to your Pemba stay.
