About Chumbe Island

Chumbe Island is a privately managed marine conservation area off the southwest coast of Zanzibar, protecting one of the most intact coral reef systems in the western Indian Ocean. The island hosts an award-winning eco-lodge and a sanctuary for the rare coconut crab. Snorkelling the reef — which has suffered minimal bleaching damage — is an extraordinary experience. Day visits from Zanzibar are available.
