A Safari Blue day is packed with adventure.
Menai Bay is scattered with isolated sandbanks, rugged island scenery, uninhabited islets, pristine marine life and crystal-clear turquoise waters.
Snorkel
Glide through the warm Indian Ocean and gaze at the abundant and diverse marine life through translucent waters.
We snorkel over two different reefs in the morning. Take advantage of our Crew’s expertise as they guide you to the best viewing spots.
Sandbank
Mid morning, we arrive at a large powdery sandbank. From here enjoy the pristine sand, swim in the shallow waters or simply lay on the beach and relish the warmth of the tropical sun.
The Lagoon
Enter the mangrove lagoon by dhow through one of the two narrow entrances and find a natural swimming pool that changes with the tide. The lagoon is a haven of still and calm and just perfect for a dip!
Dolphins
Menai Bay is a marine-protected area and a sanctuary for humpback and bottlenose dolphins. Dolphins are seen on 90% of our trips.
