About Mafia Island

Mafia Island is a tranquil, relatively undeveloped island 160 km south of Zanzibar that has become a premier diving and snorkelling destination. The surrounding Mafia Island Marine Park protects one of the Indian Ocean's richest reef systems and hosts seasonal whale shark aggregations. The island has a slow, authentic pace — a fraction of Zanzibar's visitor numbers — and appeals to travellers seeking nature, diving and solitude.
