After spending time on the sandbank, it's time for a delicious BBQ seafood lunch. Depending on the tide, you’ll enjoy your meal either on the sandbank itself or at Muyuni Beach, where a table will be set up for a relaxing beachside lunch.

Savor the flavors of grilled seafood, accompanied by refreshing fruits and soft drinks, all while enjoying the stunning ocean views. The lunch break also offers the perfect opportunity to relax, chat with fellow travelers, and reflect on the incredible experiences of the day.

Once you've finished your meal and enjoyed some downtime, you can either choose to swim in the shallow waters surrounding the sandbank or simply lounge on the beach, taking in the tranquil atmosphere. The combination of fresh air, the sound of gentle waves, and the beauty of your surroundings makes for a peaceful and rejuvenating experience. This part of the tour offers the perfect opportunity to unwind before heading back.

After a day of adventure and relaxation, it’s time to board the boat for the return trip to Mama Mia Restaurant.
