EXCELLENT Based on 211 reviews Jacen Y2025-09-02Verified 5 star service and experience Really great experience, captain and his crew were friendly and offered clear explanations as to what the day would look like. Enjoyed the snorkelling seeing so many fish and the seafood lunch was great! Really enjoyed sailing back to drop off point, was peaceful and watched the sun go down! Throughly recommend! Agnes Mollel2025-08-30Verified Lost of words! We did a full day cruise with Dream Dhow and it was the best experience ever! The team on the boat were sooo kind and really took care and involved our three children during the whole trip. Food was amazing and service 10/10. This is definitely a trip to put on your bucketlist for when you’re visiting Zanzibar! Cameron K2025-08-28Verified Roooomance! Stanley is the man! He went the extra to make us feel good and even came back from the boat to drive to our hotel and hand deliver sunglasses to us we left! Thiago N2025-08-28Verified Wonderfull snorkeling experiences in Zanzibar MNEMBA , PUNGUME, TUMBATU We got 3 days private dowh for our family and captains an food were Perfect! (2 adult 3 child 6-8-10years)1. Mnemba Island 2. Pungume Island 3. Tumbatu Island 1. Mnemba is incredible because of the amount os different colloured fishes you will swin between them. (Get some bread from lunch with you inside the Water and see the Magic…)2. Pungume has lots os fishes , but what makes the place unforgetable is the site you ho for star fishes !! There are so many , with a so many different colors that makes this tour mandatory … (start 9:00am in Kizimkazi South of the Island, consider wake early and do SALAAM CAVE 7:00am before get to the boat) 3. Tumbatu was marked by coral reefs with less fishes and the snorkeling is more deep . I liked a lot but my child could not enjoy see the details of reef corals…(Ps. Consider bring your own masks and ask in advance for For flippers… for child we brought full face masks for easy breathing and protection valve against water in snorkel) Gareth G2025-08-27Verified Delightful! Fantastic! Lovely experience and people. Staff was amazing. Couldn’t ask for a better day out! Tasty food! Highly recommended! Helen W2025-08-22Verified Great trip This was a lovely relaxing trip. Our skipper/snorkelling guide and chef did a great job. They were welcoming, helpful and knowledgable. It was fascinating having a bbq cooked on board and the food was great! The snorkelling was perfect, so many different types of fish to see, as well as coral, starfish and crabs. We were given bread to feed the fish so that they would swim around usWe did find the trip a little long for us - it took 2.5 hrs (by motor) to get from Kendwa beach to Mnemba and the same coming back (by sail). We spent the remaining time (4hrs) nearby Mnemba island at the sandbank and reef. As it’s a traditional Dhow, space and comfort is not optimum, but that’s fine as we knew what to expect.We could have done with a bit more atmosphere - some music perhaps. What stood out to us was that Dream Dhow are very conscious of conservation and respect for the wildlife - staying at a responsible distance from the dolphins rather than chasing and herding them, which is one of the reasons I booked with them. Thank you Dream Dhow D D2025-08-21Verified Amazing Crew, Beautiful Boat, Delicious Food We had an amazing private trip with Dream Dhow, and I can’t recommend them enough! From the very beginning, everything was seamless — we were picked up right on time and brought directly to the boat. The dhow itself was in excellent condition, beautifully maintained, and very comfortable (no splinters at all!).The crew was outstanding — knowledgeable, friendly, and so respectful of the dolphins and the environment, which really stood out compared to some of the other tour boats we saw. They always checked in with us about our comfort level before doing anything and made sure we felt safe and relaxed the whole time.What we loved most was their flexibility. They happily adjusted the drop-off location for us and even arranged transportation afterward, which made the experience stress-free. And I can’t forget the food — it was absolutely delicious and made the trip even more enjoyable!Overall, it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. If you’re considering a trip with Dream Dhow, do it — you won’t be disappointed! Luca K2025-08-19Verified We loved our private Mnemba tour. Caring staff, fresh meals, dolphins, snorkeling, and a stunning sunset We found this company on TikTok and ended up having one of the best days of our trip with them!From the start, the organization was super flexible – they even picked us up early in the morning in Jambiani, dropped our luggage in Nungwi as we were changing hotels, and then took us straight to the boat.We booked a private Mnemba tour for 4 friends (3 girls and 1 guy), and it was perfect. We snorkeled, saw lots of dolphins, fed colorful fish in the water, had lunch on the boat, visited the sandbank, and finally sailed back at sunset – absolutely magical.The boat staff were incredibly kind and flexible. I even got a bit seasick, but they were so caring and helpful. The food was fresh, delicious, and authentic, and they all spoke English very well. We felt safe the whole time.I can highly recommend this experience to everyone! It’s a thousand times better than chasing stressed dolphins with small motorboats. KG2025-08-15Verified Mnemba tour We had a fabulous time on board with Dream Dhou Zanzibar. Organising the trip was very easy and they were very responsive via WhatsApp. The food on board was the best we had during our stay in Zanzibar and the staff on board were amazing! Will be recommending to anyone we know coming to Zanzibar in the future :) Anna-Karin B2025-08-15Verified Wonderful full day of snorkeling. An experience! Highly recommend Dream Dhows tour out to Mnemba. It’s a lovely full day out on the water, with two different stops for snorkeling offering lots of beautiful colorful fish. An experience! Delicious grilled lunch on the boat, fruit and snacks on the way home and a very nice and service-oriented staff.
