Discover one of the most loved experiences in Zanzibar as you visit the famous sea turtle lagoon in Nungwi. This natural aquarium is home to rescued and protected green and hawksbill turtles, offering you a rare opportunity to interact with these gentle marine animals up close.

Start your experience with a warm welcome from your local guide, who will share the storey of the lagoon and explain how it supports turtle conservation on the island. Learn about the turtles' behaviour, their rescue process, and how the sanctuary helps release injured turtles back into the ocean.

Step into the clear natural pool and enjoy swimming alongside the turtles as they glide calmly around you. You’ll also have the chance to feed them seaweed—one of their favourite treats while getting amazing photos and videos of this unforgettable moment.

This activity is perfect for families, solo travellers, and nature lovers looking to enjoy a safe and meaningful marine encounter. After your turtle experience, you can relax by the lagoon, explore Nungwi village, or head to the beach for more adventure.

Reconnect with nature and create beautiful memories in one of Zanzibar’s most iconic locations.
