The Experience:

Guests will be picked up from their accommodations along the South Coast and transported via minivan to Shimoni, where they will embark on our dhow to visit Kisite Mpunguti Marine Park. This tour is not recommended for pickups from hotels on the North Coast of Mombasa due to the extended travel time. Despite this, numerous visitors still choose to participate, though they may encounter significant delays at the Likoni ferry. Participants will have the opportunity to snorkel at two distinct diving locations and may spot dolphins during the journey or within the park. While dolphin sightings are not guaranteed, they are quite likely, as dolphins are frequently observed and the area is rich in marine life. The excursion continues with a trip to Wasini Island, where a sumptuous lunch featuring fish and crab will be served. Options for chicken or vegetarian meals are available upon prior request.

Diving is available at an additional charge, payable on the day. Submerge yourself in the warm, clear waters brimming with untouched coral and diverse marine life, which includes dolphins, turtles, stingrays, moray eels and a stunning array of fish and coral species. Pilli Pipa has two sailing dhows in operation, thus ensuring limited crew members on each one for increased safety measures and personal attention. You’ll get the opportunity to snorkel twice in Kisite Marine Park before heading to your exclusive Robinson Crusoe style restaurant on Wasini Island to relish in a fresh, traditional Swahili seafood
