Sail by dhow into Kisite-Mpunguti Marine Park to snorkel coral gardens, look for dolphins and feast on Swahili seafood on Wasini Island.
Overview
Our Kisite dolphin tour is the most popular day out from Diani Beach. You sail by traditional dhow from Shimoni into Kisite-Mpunguti Marine Park, where bottlenose and humpback dolphins are often seen and the coral gardens are some of the best on the Kenyan coast.
After snorkelling, the dhow takes you to Wasini Island for a long Swahili seafood lunch and a walk through the village and its coral gardens. It is a relaxed, family-friendly day and a lovely contrast to a safari.
Best for: Day trip / beach excursion. Popular with: Beach holidaymakers in Diani from Italy, Germany, Switzerland, the UK and Poland. Best time: Year-round (calmer seas October–March).
Price is from USD 140 per adult sharing; the final cost depends on season, accommodation and group size.
