Your adventure begins with sailing leisurely across the Indian Ocean towards the Mange Sandbank, located south of Mafia Island. As you approach, the sandbank emerges from the middle of turquoise blue waters.
The morning is spent snorkeling on nearby reefs, where colorful corals and a variety of tropical fish create a vibrant underwater world. After exploring the reef, it’s time to relax on the sandbank and enjoy a freshly prepared BBQ-style picnic lunch, served with tea, coffee, and water.
The afternoon is yours to enjoy at your own pace. Swim in the calm, clear waters, stretch out on the soft white sand with a book or head back into the water for another snorkel around the reef. As the day draws to a close, the boat takes you back to Mafia Island.
