Review of the Pilli Pipa dhow tour from Diani to Kisite Marine Park, with snorkeling, dolphins, Wasini seafood lunch, prices, and practical tips.

“Very helpful and friendly staff on the boat and on the island. We saw many colorful fish, corals and sea stars. On our way we even met dolphins. Unfortunately there were no fins left for our daughter since all were taken by the other kids, so she was the only one without fins which made her sad. Apart from that it was a very nice recommendable trip!”

“Parti en véhicule de Mombasa, on est arrivé à 10h au débarcadère. Pour le snorkling il faut louer des palmes en supplément et acheter des bouteilles d’eau en verre le plastique est interdit. Sur une embarcation en bois bien pleine en a navigué quelques heures avec un arrêt d’une heure pour le Snorkling. On peut observer les dauphins depuis le bateau uniquement. on a terminé par un bon repas de poisson , les fruits de mer sont en supplément et les boissons. J’ai surtout apprécié la gentillesse et l’humour de Chico pendant tout le voyage il est très très drôle 😂 Bonne expérience dans l’ensemble”
