Pemba Island is situated about 80km north of Zanzibar and directly east of the lazy town of Tanga. The lushly covered hillside made up of natural forests and clove plantations fill the landscape. Pemba attracts divers and sun worshippers from all over the world to her crystal clear deep blue waters that drop off into an abyss.

There are many sheltered bays with white sand beaches also ideal for the novice diver and a handful of live-aboard yachts offering charters through out the Zanzibar archipelago. This combination of time spent on and off the island making for a perfect means of truly seeing Pemba.
