Wasini day trip and a visit to Kisite Marine Park, Snorkel and spot the Dolphins
Dhow Trip to Wasini Island and Kisite Marine Park
Pick up at your hotel, resort, cottage, or villa is at 7.00 am, and the drive to Shimoni is about 1.5 hrs to the Jetty. As you drive to the historical small fishing village of Shimoni on the South Coast, you will have the opportunity to see rural villages, sugar cane plantations, tall palm trees, and lush greenery.
The Slave Caves: On arrival, a local guide will lead you through the Shimoni caves, where slaves were “stored” during the old slave trading days before shipment to the Zanzibar slave market.
After the visit to the caves, you’ll head to the Shimoni piers and board a traditional Swahili Dhow for a cruise to the Marine Park. Soft drinks, water, wine, beer, and snacks are on board as you sail.
As you cruise through the Indian Ocean, there is an approximately 90% chance of spotting dolphins. You then snorkel and marvel at the rich marine life where corals, exotic fish, and sea plants are protected. You are provided with masks and snorkels and are accompanied by a certified and experienced guide. Assistance is also provided to first-timers. Back on board, you can refresh yourself with fruits and soft drinks.
Restaurant in Shimoni
Lunch: Sail back towards our restaurant located at the Shimoni mainland, where a tropical seafood lunch is waiting for you at the Coral Spirit Restaurant. The four-course menu includes crab, fish, seaweed, and rice with coconut sauce. You can also opt for a chicken or vegetarian menu. Beer, wine, and soft drinks are included. The restaurant, built on coral architecture and located directly at the shore, overlooks the channel towards Shimoni.
Wasini Village & Coral Garden (optional):
After lunch, you have the option to take a discovery stroll through Wasini Island and its Swahili culture, visiting the beautiful coral garden and the mangrove forest. Our guide will give you an in-depth orientation throughout the tour. Alternatively, you can sunbathe and relax at the restaurant, enjoying the sea view and the afternoon breeze.
