Bwejuu Island, Mafia

Bwejuu Island is considered the most beautiful island in the archipelago and for very good reason. Just under three hours sail from Mafia Island Diving, the journey itself is a highlight, as you weave in and out of sandbanks, tropical reefs and local fishing canoes. Depending on the tide, adventure can start with a dive or snorkel on Bwejuu’s fringing reef. The dive itself is highlighted by a massive school of baraccuda, which you can see from the boat as they start to inspect the boat from just below the ocean’s surface. As you press on with the dive itself, you come across fields of whip coral and large boulder structures jutting up, just below the rippling sea, creating the perfect playgound for a variety of fish species.

As you move around the island heading south, ascending up into the shallows and you will see Mafia’s most spectacular reefs with pristine corals and interesting bommies absolutely teaming with fish. This coral garden is where snorkeling takes place within the marine park. Picnic lunch in the Island and afternoon return to Mafia, this expedition is only possible from October through to March.
