Excursion Details

1 Day Wasini Island (Dolphin Dhow)

Do you want to snorkel where the dolphins swim and enjoy a relaxing day on a tropical island? Then come with us to Wasini Island. You will have the chance to see dolphins and play with them, as well as observe sea turtles and many colourful fish. You also have the opportunity to visit Shimoni and its historic caves, once used to hold slaves long ago. From there, you take a traditional dhow to Kisite-Mpunguti Marine Park, which offers the finest snorkelling in Kenya — just bring your swimsuit, as all snorkelling equipment is supplied. Afterwards, a superb fresh seafood lunch is served in a traditional-style restaurant, with an optional walk around the village. Finally, we sail back by dhow to Shimoni Jetty for the transfer to your hotel.
