MENAI BAY CONSERVATION AREA
Island Hopping in Southern Zanzibar
Located off Zanzibar's south-west coast, the Menai Bay Conservation Area is a spectacular marine environment of turquoise water, coral reefs, uninhabited islands, remote beaches and picturesque sandbanks.
Its sheltered waters and numerous islands make Menai Bay particularly suited to exploring by yacht. Rather than travelling to a single destination, your day becomes an island-hopping adventure, cruising between some of the bay's most beautiful locations.
Swim from the yacht, snorkel over tropical reefs, paddle along the coastline, step ashore on remote beaches or simply stretch out on deck and enjoy the Indian Ocean.
Menai Bay is also known for its marine life, including dolphins which are regularly encountered in the wider conservation area. Sightings are completely natural and therefore cannot be guaranteed.

PRIVATE YACHT CHARTER
Your Yacht. Your Group. Your Day.
Charter the entire catamaran privately for your family, friends or group and experience Menai Bay at a relaxed island pace.
With no large tour group or fixed shared excursion, there is time to enjoy the places you visit. Swim when you want to swim, spend longer snorkelling, explore a sandbank or simply stay aboard with a cold drink and enjoy the scenery.
It's an ideal experience for couples, honeymooners, families, groups of friends, birthdays, anniversaries and special celebrations — or simply anyone wanting to experience a very different side of Zanzibar.
