HALF-DAY TOUR
Just a short 30 - 35 minute boat ride from Stone Town, Bawe Island is the largest of the three small islets offshore. Lying opposite Prison Island, Bawe is surrounded by beautiful coral gardens, vibrant reefs, and clear turquoise waters. Its calm currents and shallow depths make it one of the best snorkeling spots in Zanzibar.
