Itinerary and highlights

Pungume Island is where you can spend your day basking in the sun, swimming and exploring the almost untouched island. Only local fishermen come to stay here

While you are enjoying yourself, your captain will prepare a fresh seafood BBQ, consisting of grilled lobster, prawns, fish fillets, octopus, calamari served with chapati, Swahili salad, rice and a tasty coconut sauce. You can enjoy the delicious lunch in the shade from the big baobab trees.

On your way back to Kizimkazi, you will pass a unique mangrove area.

If you are lucky you may spot dolphins!
