Embark on a serene and unforgettable 1 Day Funzi Island Dhow Trip, a journey that combines adventure, culture, and relaxation along Kenya’s pristine south coast. Depart from your hotel in Diani or Mombasa early in the morning and drive to Bodo Village, where you’ll board a traditional wooden dhow and sail through the tranquil waters of the Funzi Bay. As you glide past mangrove forests and tiny unspoiled islands, soak in the beauty of the natural surroundings and enjoy the peaceful rhythm of coastal life.

Your first stop is at the Ramisi River, where a short boat safari offers a chance to spot crocodiles, a variety of bird species, and other coastal wildlife in their natural habitat. Later, continue your dhow cruise to Funzi Island, a charming fishing village known for its laid-back atmosphere and friendly locals. Take a guided walk through the village to learn about the Swahili culture and traditional coastal lifestyle that have remained unchanged for generations.

After your cultural encounter, relax on the dhow or take a swim in the shallow sandbank lagoon — a hidden paradise perfect for photos and beach walks. A delicious seafood lunch awaits you on the island, featuring freshly caught fish, crab, and other Swahili specialties prepared with local spices. In the afternoon, sail leisurely back to Bodo while enjoying the cool sea breeze and breathtaking coastal views. You’ll then be driven back to your hotel, with unforgettable memories of this peaceful and scenic island adventure.
