Snorkeling at Nakupenda Beach from Stone Town with lunchSnorkeling at Nakupenda Beach is a five-hour activity from Stone Town that combines a guided reef snorkel, swimming and sunbathing on a shifting sandbank, and a fresh seafood lunch cooked on the beach. The boat leaves Stone Town, stops at a coral reef for a guided snorkel session with all equipment provided, then carries you to Nakupenda sandbank where the crew prepares grilled lobster, prawns and calamari while you swim and relax. The sandbank appears and disappears with the tides, making the geography itself part of the day.Is it for me?Five hours leaves room for a morning or evening in Stone Town but commits the middle of your day to the water and beach.
