Along the shore in Kizimkazi, a natural cave holds some of the clearest turquoise water on the island — and it’s also a genuine turtle conservation sanctuary, where rescued sea turtles are cared for before eventually being released back into the ocean.

You’ll swim alongside them in the cave’s calm water and feed them under expert guidance, with a guide sharing the history and local legends behind the site along the way. Because it’s a working sanctuary, the rules matter: no sunscreen, oils, or lotions, a shower before entering, shoes off, no touching the turtles, and no diving. Followed properly, they’re what keeps this place special.

A small boutique and dining options are available on site if you want to extend your visit.
