About Mafia Island
Eco Tourism
Your gateway to authentic experiences in Tanzania's hidden paradise
Founded by locals who
grew up on the island
Mafia Island Eco Tourism is owned and run by locals who have grown up on the island. We started as fishermen and boat operators, but our passion for marine conservation and sustainable tourism led us to create authentic experiences that benefit both visitors and our community.
Staying here will give you a local but comfortable experience. Our facilities focus on sustainability, quiet beaches, beautiful sunsets every evening, and warm friendly staff who are here for you.
