At 09h00 after breakfast we take a boat ride to Misali island. This island is world famous for it’s corals and nature. The island offers idyllic beache and nature trails. Misali’s treasure is its rich ecosystem which boasts 42 types of corals, over 300 species of fish, a rare subspecies of vervet monkeys, rarely seen coconut crabs and a nesting site for green and hawksbill turtles. Snorkeling here is breath-taking! Even close to the beach it’s possible to see bigger fishes. Unlike most places in Pemba, the tides make no difference to these activities.

The strong Islamic environmental maintenance ethic is used to support management and environment education, and the island is a 'sacred gift' to the earth from the Islamic faith as part of an ecumenical Millennium celebration arranged by the World Wildlife Fund in Nepal in November 2000. After lunch and leisure, we ride back to the hotel for dinner and overnight on bed and breakfast basis.

Activity: Full Leisure Day . Meal Plan: Breakfast Only. Accommodation: Pemba Misali Beach
You have a leisure day which you can use it for leisure or extra activities. If you are interested in marine excursions, the Indian Ocean floor is hard to beat. Many of its islands and atolls are protected by a coral barrier that creates lagoons of emerald water, perfect for snorkeling. On the other side of the reef, more experienced divers can find underwater landscapes that will take your breath away. With a tropical climate, the water temperature never drops below 22ºC, which means almost any time of the year is good for diving. The visibility exceeds 40 metres at some dive sites, so you can even give yourself the luxury of going on a night dive. Put on your fins and enjoy the action! Otherwise you can have a leisure walk to discover the nearby village life, go to Chake Chake for the sightseeing or just stay idol at the Hotel. Dinner and stay overnight on bed and breakfast basis.
