Zanzibar Private Sail to Pungume Sandbank with BBQ Lunch

About this experience

Pungume Sandbank is on the south of the island, near Kizimkazi. Kizimkazi is very popular for fishing and spotting dolphins, which we hope to see on your tour!

The captain will take you to some of the hotspots for spotting dolphins, and if you’re lucky enough, you might just get a chance to swim with them!

They however don’t stay around much longer so hop back onto the boat and let the captain take you to Pungume Sandbank where you can relax, have lunch, swim and snorkel around the sandbank!
