An unexpected highlight of our Kenya trip! - We’ve been traveling around Kenya for a while, and I honestly thought the highlight for us would be the beach and swimming. But it turned out to be something much deeper — visiting a local village and the cave once used to imprison captured locals before they were taken as slaves to Tanzania. An unforgettable and very moving experience. Everything was perfectly organized — we saw plenty of dolphins and enjoyed the stunning turquoise sea with white sandy beaches. The guide was fantastic, the captain did a great job, and even our driver gave us interesting commentary along the way about the places we passed. I truly recommend this trip to everyone — it’s absolutely worth the money!

Absolutely incredible experience! - Our dolphin snorkeling trip in wasini was simply unforgettable from the moment we left diani beach, everything was well organised and professional. The boat ride was beautiful and we were lucky enough to see a while pod of playful dolphins swimming alongside us-- a truly magical sight! The snorkeling at kisite Park was amazing with crystal-clear water full of colorful coral and tropical fish. The guides were very friendly, helpful and made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable in the water. After snorkeling, we enjoyed a delicious Swahili-style seafood lunch at Wasini Island and took a short walk around the charming local village. The people were so warm and welcoming, and it was nice to learn about their culture. Everything from start to finish was perfect--great guides, great food and breathtaking scenery. Highly recommended to enyone visiting the Kenyan coast!

Unforgettably experience in Wasini & kisite mpunguti! - This was truly one of the best experiences I've ever had! The dolphin watching was magical, seeing them play and swim so close to the boat felt like a dream. Snorkeling in kisite marine park was another highlight, the coral reef is so colourful and full of tropical fish, it's like swimming in an aquarium! After the adventure at sea, we enjoyed a delicious swahili seafood lunch on wasini island. Fresh crab, fish, coconut rice and traditional flavours that made the meal unforgettable. The hospitality of the locals made it even more special. The wasini village walk was eye-opening and beautiful, giving us a chance to learn about the island's culture, lifestyle and traditions. Finally, visiting the shimoni slave caves was was powerful and moving, a reminder of history that shaped that region. Everything from start to finish was well-organized, warm and full of genuine Kenyan hospitality. If you want to experience dolphins, Snorkeling, culture, history and amazing food all in one day- this is the perfect tour. Highly recommend.

Best Day in Coastal Kenya - This was without a doubt the highlight of our trip! We saw pods of dolphins dancing in the waves and snorkeled in clear waters full of tropical fish. Lunch was freshly prepared, flavorful and served with such hospitality. The wasini village walk was simple but authentic, giving us insight into coastal life. Visiting the shimoni slave caves was emotional but very important, making this tour both fun and educational. Highly recommended!

Watching dolphins play freely in their natural habitat was magical, and the chance to snorkeling to over colorful coral reef filled with tropical fish was absolutely breathtaking.
