Snorkeling here is breath-taking! Even close to the beach it’s possible to see bigger fishes. Unlike most places in Pemba, the tides make no difference to these activities. Among the locals, Misali has religious status as they believe the prophet Hadhara used the island as his prayer mat.

Gathering in mixed-sex groups of up to 850 individuals to roost, the Pemba flying fox creates quite a spectacle. These are the Africa’s largest bat species, a type of fruit bat with a wing span of up to 70cm and can weigh in at around half a kilo. We will spend between 45 minutes and 1 hour before we drive to Ngezi Rain Forest. This forest reserve is covering an area of 3,600 acres, mostly comprising primary forest. There are also monkeys, bush babies, fruit bats, different kinds of birds, flowers, spices, natural lakes and cultural areas, these are parts of the forest which are sacred and people periodically sweep and clean to appease their ancestors. From here we then drive to Vumawimbi Beach, an immaculate beach with miles of white sand flanked by a pristine forest. Vumawimbi is the longest beach in East Africa and one of the best places to relax, soak up the sun and take a break from some busy sightseeing. We will spend 10 – 30 minutes before we drive to the Hotel for lunch and leisure. The Aiyana, with its 30 whitewashed beach villas, all with beach access and views over the lagoon, coral reef and Indian Ocean, barefoot dining and all-natural spa, encourages a certain laissez-faire attitude. Its really a barefoot-luxury hideaway of its kind. Dinner and stay overnight in a prestige beach villa based on half board.

Day 04: Leisure Day
>> Activity: Full Leisure Day
>> Meal Plan: Half Board

You have a leisure day which you can use it for leisure or extra activities. If you are interested in marine excursions, the Indian Ocean floor is hard to beat. Many of its islands and atolls are protected by a coral barrier that creates lagoons of emerald water, perfect for snorkeling. On the other side of the reef, more experienced divers can find underwater landscapes that will take your breath away. With a tropical climate, the water temperature never drops below 22ºC, which means almost any time of the year is good for diving. The visibility exceeds 40 metres at some dive sites, so you can even give yourself the luxury of going on a night dive. Put on your fins and enjoy the action! Otherwise you can have a leisure walk to discover the nearby village life, go to Chake Chake for the sightseeing or just stay idol at the Hotel. Dinner and stay overnight on half board basis.
