Pemba Island Trips & Tours

Say hello to your inner adventurer on Pemba, a laidback island that you won’t share with many others.

Instead of beaches and loungers separating the island and the Indian Ocean, Pemba Island has amazing natural lagoons and mangroves fringing much of its coastline. There are few white, sandy beaches, but this place is known for its attractions below the water. The reefs are healthy and the Pemba Channel's steep walls diversify the exotic underwater habitat, making it a snorkelling and diving haven. Fruit and spice trees scale the mountains further inland, a contrast to the island's flatter neighbours such a Zanzibar. This is not the place to meet many other tourists, as they come in small scale. Yet not a single one leaves disappointed.

What to do in Pemba Island

A speck of land off Tanzania’s coast, Pemba is pure paradise. Its waters are alive with fish of every colour as well as larger marine life including pods of dolphins. Snorkelling is fabulous and the Pemba Channel is a scuba diver’s dream, which is among the best in the world. Deep sea fishing is also available, or simply take in the views from a dhow or kayak.
