Star Fish

Tour Overview

Experience the simple wonder of nature with our Star Fish tour, located in the shallow, crystal-clear lagoons of the Michamvi Peninsula or Blue Lagoon. At low tide, the receding waters reveal a hidden world of colorful starfish resting on the sandy bottom. This tour is particularly popular with families and photography enthusiasts, as it allows for an up-close look at these fascinating marine creatures without the need for deep-water snorkeling. You will wade through knee-deep water as your guide explains the different species of starfish, their life cycles, and the importance of handling them with care (always keeping them underwater to ensure their safety). The vibrant reds, oranges, and blues of the starfish against the white sand and turquoise water create a stunning visual contrast. After observing the starfish, you can enjoy a quiet walk along the beach or a refreshing swim in the calm lagoon. It is a short, relaxing, and educational trip that highlights the delicate beauty of Zanzibar’s coastal environment.
