Day Trip to Wasini Island & Kisite Marine Park (Dolphin Tour), Depart early in the morning from Mombasa and head south toward Shimoni, a charming coastal village located approximately 2.5 to 3 hours away. Enjoy a scenic drive through lush tropical landscapes, small Swahili towns, and glimpses of rural coastal life along the way. Upon arrival at Shimoni, you will proceed to pay the marine park fees, after which your marine adventure begins.

You’ll board a traditional dhow boat, a handcrafted wooden vessel used for centuries along the East African coast. With its white sails catching the ocean breeze, the dhow sets sail across the sparkling waters of the Indian Ocean, offering panoramic views of the coastline and nearby islands.

Your destination is the stunning Kisite-Mpunguti Marine National Park, one of Kenya’s most beautiful marine reserves. This protected area is renowned for its crystal-clear waters, rich marine biodiversity, and vibrant coral reefs, making it an ideal location for snorkeling. Once the dhow anchors near the reef, you’ll gear up and dive into the underwater paradise.

Snorkeling in Kisite Marine Park is an unforgettable experience. Swim above colorful coral gardens teeming with tropical fish, sea turtles, moray eels, and if you’re lucky, you might even spot dolphins or reef sharks. The visibility in the water is usually excellent, allowing you to fully enjoy the marine spectacle below.

After your snorkeling adventure, return to the dhow where you’ll be served refreshing tropical fruits and drinks. The boat then sails back to Wasini Island or the Shimoni area, where a delicious Swahili seafood lunch awaits—often featuring freshly caught fish, coconut rice, and other local delicacies.

Before heading back to Mombasa, you may have time to explore Shimoni Caves, once used during the slave trade era, adding a cultural and historical dimension to your day.
