A fantastic day long trip across the choppy waters of Mombasa bay. Boats launch from Shimoni jetty. The whole trip can last between 6 to 8 hours. Distance covered is about 20 kms. Highlights are Dolphin sighting, crossing various islands including Wasini island, snorkeling, sand dunes and island hoping. Fantastic experience.

Kids in developing countries , like Kenya… living in poverty but soooo happy with a pencil , a lollipop, a notebook ..never complaining, always smiling, always playing outside, always enthousiast! They have no idea how spoiled we are in the West. We miss their presence and vibes already…

Beautiful! Great for snorkeling and a good seafood lunch. Went with Diani Dhow and I definitely recommend it, the crew was respectful and attentive.

Don't you think it's amazing how tides work!? Imagine going somewhere by boat and walking back the same way you went!? Well that's kinda the feeling around here, amazing! You can spot the dolphins, snorkel with them for a while, watch out the reefs, go for lunch on Wasini island and meet the Vumbas community, they're pretty interesting, trust me. Just to poke your curiosity, they don't intermarry to other tribes but they can marry their cousins on the mother's side. Well now you are interested...

We had a fantastic Christmas holiday with family. Everyone who visits Diani beach should take a day for the marine park

Visiting this marine park is must have in your bucket list if touring the Kenyan south coast. My visit here last was memorable; you can enjoy the stunning seascapes around. If luck is on your side you get to pods of dolphins on the hunt. The coral next to the park are very rich with different sea animal species and thus the snorkeling experience is unforgettable. The guides and boat fellows ensure you get to enjoy the adventure. The rates charged by KWS and also hiring service for boats are very reasonable. Don't worry even if you are in large group there large boats for hire. KWS also have accommodation facilities near the shore in case you plan to stay around.

Great Place for snorkling. Also quite some dolphins (at least on the way out to the reef). Please note that Fins is not included when you pay for a snorkeling tour here 👎🏻🏊🏻‍♂️ The lunch at the close island was not good and they made sure to carve extra for all drinks

We enjoyed a fantastic day in the Marine Park with a private boat tour with Mohammed (+254 712 619 043, $70 for 4 pax) instead of the group trips sold in hotels (20 pax on a Dhow). We went from Diani Beach to Shimoni intersection by Matatu (KSh 200) and with a Boda Boda from there to the Park (KSh 150). The snorkeling around Kisite island is (still) very worth seeing, however, I feel the park needs to do more about conservation.

... Dhow Wow!!! ... Our dhow is called MV Rafiki. The monsoon winds gather and puff us towards Kisite Mpunguti. We had started off from the Shimoni jetty. Captain Mohammed offers a "Bismillah" and a lovely smile before we embark. The Kisite Marine Park was established to protect the scenic islands and special habitats of a wide range of endemic marine animals and breeding migratory birds. It lies in the coral gardens south of Wasini Island and encompasses three small coral rag forest islands, each with considerable areas of fringing reef. Kisite is one of the most rewarding snorkelling locations at the coast. Visitors can also enjoy bird watching, diving and of course, sunbathing. At Kisite we pour ourselves off MV Rafiki into warm, clear, clean water. Some of us hangout at the sandbar right after spotting some dolphins while some snorkel onto the reef, where marine life - zebra fish, flecked lobster, speckled crabs, fish the colour of canaries and fish with plumped-up lips like the ladies at Shella - all busily ignore us. Moha's boys back at Wasini island have cooked lunch on the beach. We voyage back to Shimoni the mainland after lunch at Wasini with Moha and his boys entertaining us with some "live music."

Loved every moment of my visit and stay, would visit once again if opportunity arises.

Awesome boat ride, talk of the white sands, great views of the ocean and horizon. Unfortunately, we missed to see the dolphins but nevertheless, the experience was great

Good experience of marine life. Make sure you go for snookering!

Nice place, tourist are able to see dolphins on their way to island.

Perfect for anyone looking to spend a few hours in the ocean. Take a boat ride to Wasini Island and if you're lucky you might encounter some dolphins 🐬 on the way.

Fantastic experience...good local seafood too

The experience is one for the books. It's simply exquisite,magical and has breathtaking scenery Each cent counted.

Great place to visit

An awesome place to take a trip at. The boat rides and snorkeling are therapeutic.

It was fun

Great views especially in the morning

Derived from “wasini mpunguti” meaning short Chinese.Only has footpaths of sharp old coral or sand.There are no cars, carts or bicycles. Natives here rely on tourism & fishing 🎣 as their source of income. Notable for dolphins🐬& humpback whales 🐳. It's a Treasure

Was attending a vacation and the venue looked quite serene and aesthetically beautiful and scenic. It's tranquil and quiet too with special atmosphere

This place boasts of amazing water wildlife such as the dolphins which are a sight to behold

Great park. We went out n saw the dolphins. Swimming was fun on the islands. Boat ride was a great experience

This place is awesome. From rich coral reef for diving and snorkeling.
