Embark on a magical full-day excursion to the beautiful Wasini Island, where the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean meet the pristine coral reefs of Kisite-Mpunguti Marine Park. Your adventure begins in the early morning with a scenic drive from your hotel to Shimoni Village, located on Kenya’s southern coast. Upon arrival, board a traditional Arabic dhow and sail across the sparkling ocean towards the marine park. Along the way, you’ll have the chance to spot dolphins playfully swimming alongside the boat — a highlight of the journey that sets the tone for a day filled with wonder and relaxation.

Once inside Kisite-Mpunguti Marine Park, the dhow anchors near the coral gardens where you can enjoy snorkeling or swimming in the crystal-clear waters teeming with colorful fish and vibrant corals. Non-swimmers can stay aboard and take in the stunning views or relax under the shade of the dhow’s sail. After your marine adventure, sail to Wasini Island, where you’ll enjoy a delicious seafood lunch featuring freshly caught fish, crab, and Swahili-style dishes prepared by the local community.

In the afternoon, take a guided walk through Wasini Island’s peaceful village and explore the Coral Garden and Boardwalk, a community project that supports local conservation efforts. Learn about the island’s history, culture, and traditional Swahili way of life. As the day winds down, reboard the dhow for a relaxing sail back to Shimoni, where your driver will be waiting to take you back to your hotel. This unforgettable trip offers the perfect mix of adventure, culture, and natural beauty — a truly unique coastal experience that captures the spirit of Kenya’s south coast.
