About Mafia Island Marine Park

Mafia Island Marine Park encompasses one of the most pristine coral reef systems in the western Indian Ocean. The park is globally recognised for whale shark aggregations between October and February — attracting divers and snorkellers from around the world. Sea turtles nest on the beaches, and the reefs support extraordinary fish diversity. The island itself has a sleepy, authentically Swahili character with no mass tourism.
