Thumbi West Island

Small island with basic accommodation, exceptional snorkeling, and a strong sense of isolation.

This tiny island (accessible by boat from Cape Maclear) has a handful of guesthouses and pristine snorkeling. Fish are abundant and unafraid. The island feels untouched. Visitors typically stay 2-3 nights; arrange boat transport in advance.
