Unforgettable trip to discover the sea - Me and my boys had a wonderful day at the sea together with Omar and the crew. It was an excellent experience. Omar made everything for our comfort, security and that out day would be the best in every way. We were able to see the dolphins and had a fantastic time discovering the corals and the sea life together with Omar. After getting some refreshing fruits we carried on to the sand banks to walk around a little in the calm crystal blue water and enjoy the fantastic view. Before the end of the day we went to eat some local food and it was the best food at our holiday so far! Excellent fish! At the end we stayed to see the slave caves and heard the history about the caves. In every moment this trip was fantastic and would defiantly go with Omar for the best experience! Thanks guys for an amazing day // Elisabet

Super organized, eventful day - We were picked up at the hotel on time and in Shimoni our guide Hussein was waiting for us. After a short instruction we went on the boat. We saw dolphins and had a great snorkeling trip afterwards. The fruit plate after snorkeling was great! During the island tour we learned a lot of interesting things and as a highlight there was a fine local lunch. The grotto visit afterwards rounded off the trip. The driver Mohammed brought us safely back to the hotel.

Incredible Tour - It was an amazing day with Omar! Seeing the dolphins and swimming alongside them, snorkeling amongst beautiful coral and schools of fish, having a delicious lunch at someone’s home, and touring the slave caves. Omar is an amazing person and host. 10/10 would recommend!

Amazing local experience with great snorkelling! - Hussein was an amazing guide, very knowledgable, friendly and engaging. It was the best snorkelling we had ever done with a huge range of fish, octopus, turtles and dolphins. We loved that they are helping the local community and marine life conservation. Lunch was also incredible at their own restaurant with Omar’s mum cooking us delicious fresh traditional Swahili food. We would definitely recommend to everyone!

Personal and professional trip - Great tour! I have been to Kisite Marine Park before, but what distinguishes his tour is that it is small-scale and relaxed. Where larger organizations are often in a “rush”, Omar offers plenty of room for flexibility and organize the tour exactly how you want it together with your travel companions. Omar is easily accessible and he arranges everything; pick up in Diani, boat trip to Wasini, and nice lunch in Shimoni. We liked to explore the Wasini island on foot and to explore Shimoni, and this was also possible. Furthermore, we dived and snorkeled. Omar is a driven, enthusiastic, professional guide with a good heart for people and nature. He knows a lot about nature, corals, turtles, and Kenyan culture. In short; I recommend this personal trip to everyone:)

Absolute recommendation for seaworthiness - First of all a big thank you to the whole crew for the perfect handling👍For the crossing from Shimoni to the snorkel reef off Wasimi Island, which takes a good 1h, you should bring a certain seaworthiness. With appropriate sea conditions the cutter rocks quite a bit over the water... Once you arrive, however, you are royally compensated by the colorful underwater world. Unfortunately, as elsewhere, almost all corals are dead. Very sad. Lunch on Wasimi was prepared with a lot of love.. thank you the hardworking women for it. Unfortunately, we haven't seen dolphins.
