Tips for a better day
- Meeting point: The boat leaves from the pier at Zanzibar, Jan Thiel Beach. Check-in is at 8:00 AM.
- Cruise passengers: Jan Thiel is 25 to 30 minutes from the cruise terminal, and ships usually dock too late for check-in, so this trip is not a good fit.
- Swim ashore: The crew suggests swimming to the beach instead of taking the dinghy for the best chance to see turtles.
Who it’s best for
Best for: Beach lovers, snorkelers and groups who want a full day at sea with food and drinks covered.
Consider another option if: You want a shorter day with guaranteed turtle time. The sea turtle snorkel tour takes about 4.5 hours and includes snorkel gear.
