Passion Explorer
Mafia Island has seasonal whale shark residents with fewer tourists and active community conservation initiatives. Visitors enjoy snorkeling, traditional dhow trips, and exploring the island's unique coelacanth history. The season from October to March offers the best chance to see whale sharks in relatively untouched surroundings.
