Exceeded all expectations - Our trip was on March 4th, 2024 and was brilliantly organized from start to finish. Our driver was called Jimmy, who picked us up from our hotel at 5:30 a.m. His open and funny manner immediately gave us a good feeling. Once we got there, we met our diver (Francis) and boat driver (Eric). Our expectations were far exceeded and we didn't expect that we would actually get a private tour. However, the boat is also our own property and could initially be put off by the luxurious expectations. If you are not 100% sure that you are not afraid of waves and the wide view of the open sea, you should not opt for a private boat tour. Of course, there is no guarantee of seeing dolphins and other creatures. We were lucky enough to be able to swim with the dolphins (from the boat's perspective) and later snorkel with turtles. By using our Go Pro, we were able to take fantastic underwater photos of the dolphins and turtles. Francis helped us to film the best shots by diving into the depths and pointing out different things in the water. For a break in the sea, a lifebuoy was carried along the whole time, which we were allowed to hold on to. The boat was always within sight and life jackets were also available on the boat for voluntary use. Our stop on land was combined with lunch, where there was a sufficient selection of seafood, chicken and vegetarian dishes. Even after snorkeling, the men surprised us with a large table of cut fruit and cold drinks (always available free of charge). At the end of the tour, Francis gave us 2 small tours, as described in the offer. We are very grateful for all these experiences and would choose to do it again and again!! 14 hours had passed when we arrived at the hotel and all 3 of us received a hefty tip! Thank you <3 Tip: - take your own snorkeling set with you if you can't cope with the standard. - change beforehand! no possibility on a small private boat (type of boat = nutshell) - T-shirt while snorkeling

A wonderful day! - Wonderful day. Small private boat perfect for those who prefer the adaptability of a program. We spent quite a bit of time with the dolphins and even almost or almost swam with them. The flexibility of the team and the formula justify the additional cost vs the experience in 35 boats.

Best Experience I’ve had in Kenya!!! - This tour was the best thing I’ve done while visiting Kenya the staff where so friendly and helpful the snorkelling and scuba diving were great followed by the food at a restaurant on Wasini island and then a tour of the village and to finish it off after getting back to the mainland you have a tour of the Shimoni slave caves. This tour is a must do the experience you get with the great staff for a very reasonable price you can’t do better then this. I would like to Thank Ismail the driver/guide boat captain Mohamed snorkeling guide called moi For making this a unforgettable experience

Amazing day, great experiences!! - It was a beautiful day. Our Driver and Guide, Ismael, told us a lot about Kenya and is in generell a very nice guy! When we were in the boat to kisite national park, you normally get to see dolphins or even whales. At first they unfortunately didn't show up, but Ismael and de Driver of the boat didn't gave up and did everything to see them. And it really payed off, because in the end, we even could swim with the dolphins in the open water!! Such an amazing experience! Also the rest of the day was very interesting and we can only recommend to book this tour!!

Not very fun - This was not our favorite snorkeling experience. To start, it was not clear to me that the driver was not the guide, but only a taxi basically - he picked us up and took us to and from the marine park. He did ride with us on the boat, but was not very friendly. We went out on a rainy day and the water was very rough, so I won’t count that against the company. Our guide also swam way too much/fast. Snorkeling is supposed to be leisurely. The equipment also left a lot of be desired. The life jackets were old and zips didn’t work. The fins were fine but the snorkel and mask were yucky (moldy and looked like it had never been cleaned). They need to be thrown out and replaced. Lunch was yummy. The captain and guide on the boat were nice. But for them, I would have rated this lower.
