Tour Itinerary
Pick up from your hotel at around 7.15 am and drive to Wasini Island along Mombasa – Lunga Lunga highway, a distance of 100 km, arriving at around 8.30 am. Arrive at Shimoni Jet where you will board an Arabic dhow and sail for one hour searching for dolphins. Sail to Kisite marine national park where you will snorkel and swim. You will have your lunch which is mainly seafood and Swahili dishes. After lunch, you will sail along the mangrove swamps and then visit Wasini Island where you will learn more about the Swahili people and Arab history.
In the 10th century, Arabs were slave traders and they used to intermarry with the Bantus at the coast and there we had the Swahili people. After the end of the slave trade in the 17th century, many Africans settled here and so don’t miss the opportunity to learn more about the Swahili people. Arrive at the jet at around 4.00 pm and drive back to the hotel.
