DAY TRIPS
Free day trips are organized to three destinations in Chole
Bay, the island's main attraction.
All trips take place in accordance with the tides which allow
one or more destinations to be reached in a day. Also check
out our fee trips (page 1 and
page 2)
Maweni - Coral
rocks emerging from the bay surrounded by an extremely interesting
reef which can be reached even by less expert swimmers.

Fungo Marimbani - A strip of dazzling white sand which appears
during low tide, surrounded by crystal-clear water.
Chole Island - The oldest, still inhabited settlement
in the archipelago, with the ruins of some Arab buildings used
by the Germans during the First World War.
The island is covered
by extremely varied lush vegetation. You can visit a shipyard
where traditional construction methods are still used to build
dhows, the typical East African sailing boat. Among the island's
curiosities are a number of trees containing colonies of Comoro
bats, a protected species of fruit eating "flying foxes".
