Description

The tour starts with an early morning pick-up from your Beach hotel or accommodation in Diani Beach for this amazing tour of Wasini Village and Dolphin watching adventure. You will drive southwards to the marvelous Shimoni Area, passing villages and sugarcane plantations. Upon arrival, a local guide will lead you through the Shimoni caves where slaves were “stored” during the old slave trading days before shipment to the Zanzibar slave market, and learn about East Africa's dark history of the Slave Caves in Shimoni fishing village. The cave visit can also be done after the boat tour. After the visit to the caves, you’ll head to the Shimoni piers and board a traditional Swahili Dhow for a cruise to the Marine Park. Soft drinks (sodas), water, and snacks will be provided on board as you sail. As you cruise through the Indian Ocean, there is an approximately 90% chance of spotting Dolphins. On very rare occasions, especially during bad weather, you will not see the dolphins. You will then anchor the dhow and slip in the water to swim and snorkel while marveling at the rich marine life where corals, exotic fish, and sea plants are protected. You are provided with masks and snorkels and are accompanied by a certified and experienced guide. Assistance is also provided to first-timers. Back on board, you can refresh yourself with fruits. You will then go to one of the traditional restaurants for lunch. Coconut rice and fish will be served. If you want special seafood like crabs, that comes at a separate cost. Conclude your tour with a walk around the small island village before heading back to the mainland. Thereafter, sail back to Shimoni Jetty for your transfer back to your resident hotel.
