★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 337 reviews · 9 hours · from $128Our pick

Sail a traditional dhow from Diani to Kisite Marine Park and Wasini Island for snorkeling, dolphins, seafood lunch, culture, and free photos.

“Everything went nice. Pickup time was punctual, transfer to the starting point was also good. Our guides were very nice and funny, but what's most important- we felt safe for all the time even swimming in open water. Nice thing was that one of guides had a go-pro, so we received movies and pictures from the trip afterwards. We had a luck to meet lot of dolphins. Boat was in a good shape, not overcrowded so that's another good thing. As it was said, toilet was available. Island tour was also nice. One slight disadvantage was that we marked polish guide, and none of the crew did speak polish. For…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 217 reviews · from $130

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!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 181 reviews · 8 hours · from $163

Review of Mombasa’s private Kisite cruise, with dolphins, snorkeling, Swahili food, Wasini Island, hotel transfers, and practical tips.

“The strongest aspects of the trip were our guides and the organisation. They went out of their way to ensure everything met our expectations. Even the discussions about modern Africa were profound and inspiring. Despite initial weather problems (it was raining), we reached a dolphin spot and observed one individual (apparently there were six the day before). Swimming with it was out of the question – it was too fast :). During the snorkelling, we saw lots of coral, fish, and one spiny lobster (I think it ran away quickly). I recommend bringing fins; you'll tire out more quickly without them. Then, we sailed to the island for lunch, past…”

Review of Wasini Island’s dhow cruise, dolphin spotting, snorkeling, seafood lunch, village walk, and optional Shimoni caves from Mombasa.

“The activity was 2/5. We unfortunately didn’t see dolphins, but that’s okay. The snorkelling felt rushed so you didn’t get much time to enjoy and see what was out there. The restaurant they chose was also not good. It was unfortunately not worth the money.”
