Snorkeling Day Trips From Diani Beach

Package Overview

Ever swim, sail, or snorkel with the dolphins? This full-day land and sea excursion will bring you up close to these playful creatures as you skim the waters of the Indian Ocean on a traditional dhow. Climb aboard to sail into the bright colors of Kisite Mpunguti Marine Park, known for its excellent aquatic life and bird watching.

We’ll take off from the jetty at the historical fishing village of Shimoni and head for the local island of Wasini. Along our way, we’ll swim, snorkel, and discover the underwater world of coral, dazzling fish, and the resident dolphins inviting us for a swim.

Landing at Wasini Island, we’ll discover local Swahili culture and dive into a luscious seafood bar-b-que and perhaps some relaxing time. Later, back at Shimoni, we’ll make some more historical discoveries to fully round out this adventurous day of Kenya diving and swimming with the dolphins.

Shimoni – Your Sail Begins
You’ll find British colonial ruins here as well as a rich coast, forest, and historical caves. In the evening listen for the calls to prayer and sometimes the sweet aroma of cloves in the air. Your sail begins and ends at this small village.

Wasini Island
This tiny island a few miles off the coast has no cars or even bicycles – transportation here is by foot or wheelbarrow. Take the boardwalk to discover the stunning coral gardens at the west end of the island. You can also spot humpback whales and dolphins swimming not far from the shore.
