Blue Lagoon, Mafia

Blue Lagoon, Mafia, Tanzania

The Blue Lagoon near Mafia Island is a sheltered, shallow stretch of strikingly clear turquoise water, well suited to relaxed snorkeling and swimming away from any current or wave action.

What to Expect

Take a short boat trip to the lagoon, where calm, shallow water makes for easy, low-effort snorkeling over coral and small reef fish. The setting is scenic and relaxed, suitable for less confident swimmers or families with children.

It is a good lower-key alternative to the more involved whale shark or deep sea fishing excursions available from Mafia.

Good to Know

  • Duration: half day
  • Best for: families and travelers wanting a calm, easy snorkeling spot
  • Combine with: a Chole Island visit on the same day
