We ventured to the northern part of the island from Stone Town for a snorkeling excursion. The experience was truly delightful, teeming with a plethora of corals and a diverse array of fish. We wholeheartedly suggest visiting this spot if you have a penchant for snorkeling 😍 Our journey was facilitated by Hussein and his boat (+255773904747), who proved to be a skilled captain offering reasonable rates. The location is approximately a 40-minute boat ride away from Stone Town.
