Chumbe Island is a small privately-owned island a few kilometres off of the coast of Zanzibar known for its ecological innovation and exceptional coral reefs. In 1994, the island and its surrounding waters were declared the Chumbe Island Coral Park, which contains the Chumbe Reef Sanctuary and the Closed Forest Reserve. Profits made from trips to Chumbe island help keep their conservation & education programs thriving. This tour needs to be booked at least 2 days in advance as only a maximum amount of people are allowed on the island.

The turtles were a gift from Seychelles and have been moved to the island for their protection.
