Wasini Dhow Tours And Island
Restaurant
Tell Me About My Dhow Tour To Kisite Marine
Park, South Coast Mombasa, Kenya.
The tour is in existence since 1978, the very
first of its kind on the Kenya Coast, helped
establish Kisite as a Marine Park.
Your trip begins upon your pick up at your
hotel; you are driven to South Coast Mombasa. On
the way there, you will have the opportunity to
see rural villages, tall palm trees, lush
greenery, and the smell of the ocean close by.
Upon your arrival at the departure dock, Shimoni
pier, overlooking the Wasini Channel, tea,
coffee or juice is first served; the diving team
is introduced, and a short description of the
tour and the options available are explained in
different languages.
You then depart on the dhow to Kisite Marine
Park; Kisite is the best and most accessible
Marine Park in Kenya. Once out on the Indian
Ocean, there are regular sightings of dolphins,
often accompanied by their rollicking offspring.
Within the Wasini Channel, the rare hump-backed
dolphins are also often sighted. Scuba diving
and fun-diving guests often meet turtles
underwater, too.
Kisite also has a fantastic variety of fishes
and coral. Snorkeling is done off the fringing
reef of a large rocky islet and a wonderful sand
bar, which appears out of the blue ocean at low
tide. On top of the islet, is a large colony, in
season, of noisy, nesting sooty terns. Provided
with masks and snorkels but no fins, snorkels
float above what can be compared to a personal,
gigantic, tropical aquarium. Assistance is also
provided to first timers.
Upon your return at midday to the resort, lunch
will be served at Wasini Island Restaurant. The
restaurant, built in traditional architecture,
overlooks the Indian Ocean towards the distant
mountains of Tanzania. After lunch, guests have
various options:
* Guided walks to the Muslim village of Wasini
Coral gardens.
* Beds are available in the garden for guest who
enjoy an afternoon nap
* The dive-base is a great place to sit in the
cool breeze, and contemplate the passing
fisherman attending to their fish traps.
WASINI ISLAND DHOW

the Kenyan Coast where there are no hotels or
discos - only the sound of fish eagles & the
splashing of the fishermens' paddles.
