Enjoy Nungwi Mnarani Aquarium with its Turtles - Half-Day Tour - Zanzibar

Discover all there is to know about sea turtles at the aquarium in the small village of Nungwi. Get a chance to feed and swim with the turtles in their natural lagoon pond. Find out how the aquarium rehabilitates sea turtles once they have recovered any injuries caused by being caught in nets.

Start your day with a pickup from your hotel in Zanzibar and be driven to the village of Nungwi on the northern tip of Zanzibar Island. Visit the Nungwi Aquarium and its turtles with your guide.

Discover a large, natural tidal pool in the coral rock behind the beach where the turtles swim. It was initially set up to rehabilitate and study marine turtles caught in fishing nets. The project was developed to ensure that local baby turtles were also protected.

Buy some seaweed from the turtles' carers to feed them or get into the pool for a closer encounter to swim with them. Learn all about the rehabilitation project and the efforts to protect local baby turtles. Gain an insight into the life cycle of turtles, their food, and more.

After the Nungwi tour, if you like, you will be driven to the Kendwa beach for you to have a free time, swim, take pictures and relax.

Later, the driver will drop you back to your hotel.
