Our trip is a full day sail to the Mnemba sandbank with stop on the sandbank for lounging and pictures. We will also anchor at nearby reef for some great snorkeling and swimming. In addition guests will have a high chance to see dolphins in the area which is a great experience to watch them in their natural habitat.
