A calm night below sea level watching reef fish drift by. Fully inclusive made the day easy and the team was attentive without being intrusive.

Personal service fundi support smoothed planning. Sunset and sandbank trips were highlights; dive visibility varied with the weather but overall stay was excellent.

Editorial Review: Healthy reefs and the iconic Underwater Room are the differentiators. EveningBreeze adds comfort in Seafront Villas; transfers and weather on Pemba can be variable. Best for travellers who enjoy a quiet island rhythm.
