Swim with Turtles in Nungwi

  • Learn how injured or rescued turtles are brought to natural coral‑rock lagoons in Nungwi to recover before being released back to the ocean.[web:76][web:77][web:79]
  • Swim or snorkel with turtles in clear natural pools, feed them seaweed, and take memorable photos at close but supervised distance.[web:75][web:76][web:77][web:78]
  • Combine your visit with time on Nungwi Beach to enjoy white sand, calm water, and sunset views after the turtle experience.[web:79][web:80]
