Go for a Boat Ride
One of the great things about Funzi Island is its isolation. Before your excursion, you will enjoy a nice boat ride to the island. The ride also offers the perfect opportunity to view some of the fascinating marine life around the island, including coral reefs and vibrant fish.

Additionally, you will take a trip up the Ramisi River on a canoe after getting to the island. You can watch the beautiful birdlife thriving in mangrove trees during the ride. If you see a crocodile basking on the river banks, you must also keep your camera ready.

Scuba Diving and Snorkelling
Snorkeling and scuba diving (at an added cost) are also fun ways to explore the Indian Ocean if you are not afraid of getting wet. The clear waters around the island are home to coral reefs, several fish species, and other marine life. Scuba diving and snorkeling are ideal ways to explore the underwater world while seeing these fascinating creatures.

Furthermore, during your excursion, you will see a few crocodiles roaming around the thick mangrove vegetation. In most cases, the crocs are afraid of humans. However, you should avoid getting too close to them.

Visit the Mangrove Forest
