Get picked up early from your hotel in Mombasa or Diani and set off southward as the coastal sunrise paints the sky in golden hues. Travel along palm-fringed roads toward Shimoni Village, the gateway to Kenya’s most celebrated marine treasures, passing glimpses of daily coastal life along the way.
Upon arrival in Shimoni, board a traditional motorized dhow and sail across the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. Feel the sea breeze on your face as you glide past forested islands and mangrove-lined shores. Keep watch for playful dolphins leaping alongside the boat, adding a magical touch to your journey.
Arrive at Kisite Marine Park, where the underwater world bursts into life. Snorkel or scuba dive among vibrant coral gardens teeming with angelfish, sea turtles, and countless other marine species. Whether floating on the surface or exploring deeper waters, the park offers an unforgettable glimpse into Kenya’s rich marine biodiversity.
After your marine adventure, sail to Wasini Island for a traditional Swahili seafood lunch at a charming seaside restaurant. Savor freshly grilled fish, coconut rice, and aromatic spices while enjoying panoramic views of the ocean — a true taste of the coast’s culinary heritage.
Conclude your day with a gentle stroll through a traditional Wasini Island village. Learn about Swahili culture, architecture, and customs as you wander shaded paths lined with coral stone homes. As the afternoon light softens, begin your return journey and enjoy a comfortable drop-off back at your hotel in Mombasa or Diani.
