Depart early in the morning heading to Dar es Salaam‘s South beach, just 8 km from the city centre. You will be picked up from Dar City Centre and transferred to Kigamboni on the south coast of Dar es Salaam. The dhow trip starts around 09:00 AM and returns to Kipepeo around 04.30 PM. The boat used is a traditional dhow. We head to Sinda Island Marine Reserve, where guests walk around the island and go snorkelling. It is a very relaxed trip greatly enjoyed by tourists.

The clear offshore waters are home to a vast array of colourful starfish, tropical fish and coral reefs providing excellent snorkelling.

Sinda actually consists of “Inner” Sinda and “outer”... 3 hours
Sinda actually consists of “Inner” Sinda and “outer” Sinda islands that are part of a larger coral reef formation. The formation makes Sinda one of the best islands off Dar es Salaam for snorkeling, surrounded by patch reefs that harbour a variety of species such as tiny clownfish and huge moray eels. Sinda Island is also famed as a quiet spot favoured by honeymooners and people just enjoying a day trip with a picnic. It is about 15km offshore but getting there is simple, with boats departing daily from Kipepeo beach and a chance to see dolphins on the way.
