Overview
What to expect
Get into the water with Zanzibar's gentle sea turtles. In natural tidal lagoons in the north and in Kizimkazi on the south coast, local conservation projects care for green and hawksbill turtles — and you can swim right next to them.
Feed them seaweed by hand, take unforgettable photos and learn how these projects protect turtles and their nesting beaches.
