Sinda Island, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania Sinda actually consists of “Inner” Sinda and “outer” Sinda islands that are part of a larger coral reef formation. The formation makes Sinda one of the best islands off Dar es Salaam for snorkeling, surrounded by patch reefs that harbour a variety of species such as tiny clownfish and huge moray eels. Sinda Island is also famed as a quiet spot favoured by honeymooners and people just enjoying a day trip with a picnic. It is about 15km offshore but getting there is simple, with boats departing daily from Kipepeo beach and a chance to see dolphins on the way. 180 minutes

Absolutely fantastic experience. I am very impressed with Rama for organizing such a perfect trip. We were picked from Southern Sun Hotel at around 9.30 am, enjoying the views of the Dar city, Nyerere bridge....took a boat to Sinda Island with Omar who was our guide for the day.
The island is stunningly beautiful, white sandy beaches and clear blue waters. We spent the late morning snorkeling with Omar had our packed lunch and had a siesta, explore the island in the afternoon before returning back to our hotel.
