Nungwi is Zanzibar's most famous beach village — a sweeping stretch of brilliant white sand on the island's northernmost tip, where the water is turquoise, calm, and warm year-round. But Nungwi offers more than just a beautiful beach: the village is also home to a remarkable community-run sea turtle sanctuary that protects and rehabilitates endangered sea turtles before releasing them back into the ocean.

This full-day tour combines a relaxed beach experience with a visit to the Mnarani Natural Aquarium, Zanzibar's famous turtle lagoon where green and hawksbill turtles are protected and cared for. Your guide takes you through the sanctuary, introducing you to the turtles' biology, life cycle, and the conservation challenges they face. After the sanctuary visit, enjoy the afternoon on Nungwi's stunning white sand beach — swimming, snorkelling, sunbathing, or taking a traditional ngalawa outrigger canoe ride along the coast.
