Overview
The drive from town to Kizimkazi a small village at the Southern point of the island takes one hour. The surface of the Kizimkazi channel is broken by the skimming arcs of wild bottle-nosed dolphins, here you are taken by boat powered by an outboard engine into the sea to see the dolphins and if lucky will be able to swim quite close to them as they are very friendly and playful.
Snorkelling will also be part of this tour (snorkeling equipment can be hired at the site). Kizimkazi is also the site of a 12th Century Mosque, the earliest evidence of Islam in East Africa. The return trip includes a visit of this Mosque which still contains the famous Kufic scripts in its walls.
