    Watamu National Marine Park
    Stop: 8 hours - Admission included
    Our driver guide will picked you from your hotel or desired pick up point early in the morning,then drive North towards Watamu via the Mombasa Malindi rd.Its 100kilometers from Mombasa and it will take roughly one and a half hours to reach watamu. On your way you will be able see different land scape and plantations along the road. At around 9:30 am we arrive at the Marine park Watamu.Your driver will hand you over to the captain/guide who will make sure your marine park fees is paid, and then you will board a motorized 2 decor glass boat so you can lay on the top deck and bask in the sun or just relax on the lower deck and enjoy the underwater life as you cruise towards the Marine park.Your excursion will begin with dolphins sighting where your captain/guide will take you to the hot spots where according to his experience you will be able to see and swim with the dolphins, remember this is for the adventurous souls. Once the dolphins stop moving around you can put on your snorkeling equipment (to be provided on board) and jump into the ocean so you can get close up with the gentle creatures. After the mad fun, once again board the glass boat and continue towards the marine park. The Pristine white-sand beaches and reef-protected lagoons line the Watamu National Marine Park and Reserves, which are the oldest in East Africa and cover over 229 kmsq. It is one of the best kept secrets in the world with only the Great Barrier Reef itself having a bigger species list and that only in a far greater expanse! The marine protected area in Watamu is also recognized internationally as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. This means that the area is designated as a site of natural excellence, and should demonstrate how local people and the environment can coexist through careful stewardship of our natural marine resources and human assets. The Marine Park and Reserve is renowned world wide for its natural beauty and boasts a rich marine life. It is virtually impossible to snorkel without seeing at least a few dozen species inside the main reef; divers outside the fringe reef stand an excellent chance of viewing the magnificent whale shark and Manta Rays that are seasonal visitors. November is best for spotting these animals. The Park is also home to three species of sea turtle who also nest on the Marine Park beaches. The Park and its coral gardens are one of the main justifications for visiting Watamu. Some of the more commonly seen fish include of course the parrot fish, whose digestion of the coral reefs over the millennia, have produced the white sand beach itself. Angelfish, groupers, file fish, lion fish and snappers are just a handful of the easily seen species within this superb, brightly colored underwater world. One of the best routes your captain is going to follow in this for exploration is a gentle cruise to the Larder in Turtle Bay. Head out in between the two rocky islands directly south of the KWS Blue Bay HQ. As the glass boat floats gently over the eroded coral ledges, there are numerous damsel fish, young butterfly and angelfish, morays, groupers and octopus. Through the seagrass pass you'll find blue spotted rays, mullet and snappers. Once you get to the edge of the grass area, around 100metres out, turn right and follow the grass edge along its contour line. After about 100m you'll find the Larder to your left; a series of 6 or so large coral heads which are the home of hundreds of sweetlips, snappers and drummer fish. You'll also find lion fish and crocodile fish if you look closely. Another bonus here are the large barracuda which hang around near the seabed in large groups. They are nocturnal feeders and sleep during the day so are easy to approach. There is an exceptional shoreline with Watamu voted one of the top ten beaches in the world; steeped in natural fauna and flora and with three stunning bays, Watamu, Blue Lagoon and Turtle Bay. Here you will also be allowed to get into the ocean for snorkeling and shallow diving into the ocean floor to see the magnificent coral caves hidden under the blue water.Get a chance to swim and touch hundreds of schools of fish and turtles After snorkeling next stop will be amazing, white sandy beach with crystal clear blue waters where you will be allowed to step off the boat for a swim on this magical waters for a while before returning to the boat and sail off to sudi island while enjoying the lush green mangroves along the creek side. At around -1:00pm we will arrive at Sudi island where you will receive a warm welcome to the island followed by a little entertainment from the natives. The captain and his crew will then quickly start preparing for where they will grill and serve fresh and delicious sea food with varieties like ; lobsters,king fish,baracuda,and crabs etc(chicken is available for these who don’t eat seafood).. After lunch you can choose to take a canoe ride into mangrove forest on the island with a guide and learn a little history about the island and the creatures found there For these who choose to remain on the island can take the opportunity to swim on the islands shores or just busk in the sun and take photos.Take some time and capture your last moments on the sandy beaches. Enjoy your last moments at the island and its environment. At 4:30 its time to board the boat and head back to mainland where your driver will be waiting to drive you back to your hotel or desired drop off point in time for dinner. End of our program!!

    Best Experience I’ve had in Kenya!!!
    This tour was the best thing I’ve done while visiting Kenya the staff where so friendly and helpful the snorkelling and scuba diving were great followed by the food at a restaurant on Wasini island and then a tour of the village and to finish it off after getting back to the mainland you have a tour of the Shimoni slave caves. This tour is a must do the experience you get with the great staff for a very reasonable price you can’t do better then this. I would like to Thank Ismail the driver/guide boat captain Mohamed snorkeling guide called moi For making this a unforgettable experience

    Marine Kisite Reserve and Wasini island
    We took the boat to Marine Kisite Reserve and to the Wasini island - snorkelling was amazing. Our guide from Wasini island took really good care of us and provided a lot of information, we felt safe on the boat. Lunch on the island was delicious (fresh fish), highly recommended!

The guide Isamael was really freindly and he documented our snorkling under water with his camera and we received the pictures afterwards. I would totally recomend this and all of us 8 students were really happy. We havent been with another boat trip but We can recomend these guys!

    A must go! Please visit, you won't regret.
    Wooow! What a brilliant day 😀 we left from Mombasa and took a drive out to wasini, our tour guide Ishmael is amazing, so friendly and willing to go the extra mile for us. He provided us with fresh fruits and water, better still , was full of information about kenya, history, religion and taught us so much about kenyan people and their way of life, which Is very much valued. When we arrived we spotted dolohins feeding, went snorkeling, my partner isn't a confident swimmer, Ishmael made him feel comfortable enough for him to experience the coral reef for all it has to give. We then went for lunch at the wasini island village and went for a tour around, seeing where the wasini villagers live and explained the very interesting histories . Thank you so much for the experience it will be tressured in my memories for life ❤️

    Great Day!
    In the morning we had a walk through the old town. Ken told us a lot about the history of Mombasa and we visited exciting spots. He also showed us the local market where we could taste and buy several spices. Lunch was at the Copa cabban Beach Bar. The food was very tasty (both fish and chicken) and the atmosphere at the beach was just great. In the afternoon, our driver Eric brought us to the Haller Park. We could watch the feeding of the crocodiles and the hippos. Our highlight was that we could even feed the giraffes ourselves. We can absolutely recommend this tour! We had a great day with Eric! He drove us savely through the busy streets while telling us very interesting stories about Mombasa. It was fun that he was also interested in our culture, so we had a great conversation!

    Amazing day, great experiences!!
    It was a beautiful day. Our Driver and Guide, Ismael, told us a lot about Kenya and is in generell a very nice guy! When we were in the boat to kisite national park, you normally get to see dolphins or even whales. At first they unfortunately didn't show up, but Ismael and de Driver of the boat didn't gave up and did everything to see them. And it really payed off, because in the end, we even could swim with the dolphins in the open water!! Such an amazing experience! Also the rest of the day was very interesting and we can only recommend to book this tour!!

    Unreliable!
    We looked forward to make this tour with our family, but one hour before departure time we got a phone call from the operator Natives Tours, that we should have left two hours before the agreed time. It was no longer possible to make this (private!) tour. Natives Tours claimed they had sent an email, but definitely I didn't received it. Very disappointing, because we really wanted to see the highlights from Mombasa. I assume we get a refund, but Natives Tours denies responsability. To be continuted.......

    Great service from Mombasa SGR Terminus to Diani Beach
    We had great service from the SGR station in Mombasa to our AirB&B in Fiani Beach. Our driver Mackinzie was right there when we arrived. He is very knowledgeable about the area and could be considerate tour guide as well as a driver. When it was time to return to Nairobi, he promptly picked us up and got us to the train station with time to spare. I would definitely use this service again

It was very interesting to go for snorkelling and the ornamental fish are just the best as the can be seen clearly in the waters. The depth is also friendly to all those who dont know how to swim
