Kisite-Mpunguti Marine Park Snorkeling Excursion

Early morning pick-up from your Diani Beach hotel and drive south to Shimoni, a small fishing village that serves as the gateway to Kisite-Mpunguti Marine National Park. Board a traditional wooden dhow and sail into the Indian Ocean — the turquoise water is so clear you can see the sandy bottom from the boat. Keep watch for pods of bottlenose dolphins that frequent these waters — they often ride the bow wave of passing boats, and your skipper knows their favourite spots. Arrive at Kisite Marine Park and slip into the warm water for world-class snorkeling. The coral gardens are alive with colour — parrotfish, angelfish, moorish idols, and occasionally sea turtles glide through the reef. After snorkeling, sail to Wasini Island for a traditional Swahili seafood lunch served under mangrove shade — fresh crab, grilled fish, coconut rice, and tropical fruits. After lunch, explore the coral gardens of Wasini and the mangrove boardwalk before sailing back to Shimoni and returning to Diani Beach by late afternoon.
