I spent 7 nights in a beautiful eco-bungalow on Chumbe Island in February. I arrived stressed, exhausted and in serious need of "recharging". I left 7 days later, happy, healthy, relaxed and rejuvenated. It is beautiful, peaceful, very well put-together, the ecological aspects are great, the conservation approach admirable, the food simple, fresh and delicious and the snorkelling on the... More

Chumbe Island Coral Park is the best choice for people, who like living in nature, privacy, peace, ecological amenity, discreet care, but also delicious meal and wonderful snorkeling. You can attend offered aktivity, you can just relax on the beach. We spent in island two days in January and we enjoyed every minutes. Special thank Chumbe team ! Very good... More

After 3 weeks of work near Moshi, I went to Zanzibar, fulfilling a desire 20 years old. While there, I read about Chumbe and was attracted by the description of great snorkeling. I called to learn more, and spoke with Laki, the reservation manager. As I look back now on something I will remember for a long, long time, I... More

We were 4 Australian staying in Zanzibar for 1 month, and our day trip to chumbe island was an absolute highlight. For $90 per person, we were transferred to and from the island, had an amazing lunch and even had our own bungalow for the day. The snorkeling was incredible. It's a shallow coral reef just offshore with an abundance... More

We were looking for 2 weeks of bliss in the sunshine, and we found it on Chumbe Island! It really is the perfect place, and everyone leaves with happy memories, and wanting to go back: we certainly did. The staff are all genuinely nice, well informed, and completely helpful and the place glows with the feeling that they're doing something... More

Asante, Chumbe, for such a relaxing weekend away! Staff seem to genuinely love their jobs and do them with pride. They were organized, professional and very helpful. The island itself is a gem, with clean, clear, healthy coral reefs bursting with wonderful varieties of wildlife, including massive colourful lobsters, thousands of fish and sea turtles! We even had phosphoresence when... More

For 2 night my partner and I stayed at Chumbe. It was simply magical. Here are a few reasons why you should go, which make it all worth it, regardless of the price: The magnificent surroundings - peaceful and quiet with beautiful birds like the kingfisher and wonderful creatures such as the giant Coconut crab - an endangered species -...

I left Chumbe today after an incredible two-night stay. It was perfect: the bungalows are fantastic and wonderful examples of green building techniques, the snorkeling was phenomenal on a healthy reef that visitors help to support, the staff are well-trained and superb, and chef John King's food was fantastic. It's undoubtedly a splurge but very much worth it - both... More

We had the whole island to ourselves, 18 people: 8 aduls and 10 children in the seven bungalows. Grandparents (who came 3 days beforehand to check it out) and offspring. The island is an eco-paradise, the reef a water-wonderland. The entire staff was friendly and efficient and the food great. The rangers were expert and we could snorkel to our... More
