Amazing - We stopped off during our World Cruise and joined a snorkeling day trip to Wasini Island with Elky, arranged through our tour agency — and it was absolutely fantastic! The traditional dhow boat was both comfortable and shaded, offering great protection from the sun. We loved learning about the coastal islands near the Kenya-Tanzania border. The crew truly stood out — enthusiastic, professional, and deeply knowledgeable. One of the guides, a former biochemistry teacher, gave us fascinating insights into the marine life and coral reefs. Their care for the marine sanctuary and attention to safety were impressive. Snorkeling was well-organized: equipment was provided, and the crew ensured each guest had a perfect fit for their mask, snorkel, and fins. Lunch was outstanding! A seafood and crab feast was served at a lovely local restaurant, with options for chicken lovers and a delicious vegetarian meal (mine included samosas, chapati, and tasty vegetable dishes). The natural beauty of the area is breathtaking, but it was the kindness and dedication of the crew that made this trip truly unforgettable. Easily one of the best experiences we’ve had on any vacation. Highly recommended!

Amazing day out - The staff pick you up from your hotel and take you to the harbour. The boat ride experience was amazing with dolphins and snorkelling for the first part. You then have a relaxing lunch which is included as part of the package. The whole experience was amazing

Recommend everyone to take part in other trips or private trip of this travel agency or schedule a pickup 👍 - I highly recommend this travel agency, their response is quite quick, they will also respond in the evening, delivery is very timely, via Viator booking, and also receive confirmation notification sent immediately, making people quite reassured. But I do not recommend this trip itself, unless you take children, otherwise this trip is a bit uninteresting for adults, there are 35 passengers on a shared trip boat, I don't know how high the chance of seeing dolphins, but we don't see this day, it's just a constant boat trip, waves that cause a lot of dive hard and dangerous, and there are no coral and fish, boat and ticket buyers spent more than an hour waiting for lunch, lunch is also always waiting for everyone to finish eating (some of the kids in the group went to the bathroom for a long time, the European people of the group are very unhappy) Vasini Island itself has nothing to characterize, it is not beautiful and dirty on the island, the lunch included in the "Coral Wasini Adventure" environment is dirty, the meal is not good to eat, everyone remembers to go to the bathroom first, because this restaurant is really bad.
