Pemba Island

Situated some 50 miles to the North of the main island, Pemba island is Known as “The Evergreen Island” because of its lush vegetation and rolling countryside. Pemba is also famous for its immense and dramatic blue water drop offs along with pristine coral reefs teeming with marine life of all shapes and sizes. The Northern tip of the island is one of the world’s great dive sites but only suitable for advanced divers due to the strong currents. The beaches are not as accessible as on the main island and the roads on Pemba are terrible. The warmth of the people and the unspoilt beauty of the island make up for the difficulties. Those wishing to visit Pemba island need to allow more time than for a visit to the main island.
