Visit Bongonyo Island

Take a ferry ride to paradise on the Indian Ocean and discover the scenic Bongoyo Island just off the coast of the Msasani Peninsula in Dar es Salaam. This relaxing playground is an ideal day trip from the hustles and bustles of the city, offering a fun-filled day on the white sands or cooling off in the crystal blue waters. Hop aboard the daily ferry boat for a short trip across the bay where you will be greeted by friendly caretakers ready to show you the island. Explore underwater worlds on a snorkeling trip. Take along a picnic or dine on freshly caught seafood and local favorites like Changu and calamari at the beachfront restaurant. Bongoyo Island is the perfect place to rest, relax and rejuvenate in Tanzania.
