Lamu: Sunset sailing with a unique traditional dhow/dau

Lamu Island, Kenya



The customers will have the chance of experiencing the Magical Sunset sailling through the narrow mangrove channels while viewing the spectacular view of the sunset from a close range.

Highlights

  • The clients can as well join the captain on doing the actual sailing
  • The dhow is traditional and local made giving the typical sailing experience
  • During sailing we provide local drone for a photo session by climbing the mast

Description

Immediately after pick up, the captain will start on the engine and ride the dhow/dau for a short distance then the engine will be switched off and the sailing experience will immediately commence and the sail will be opened. We will sail only by adjusting the sail and catching the wind from the opposite direction to enable the dhow/dau to move. We shall be sailing close to the mangrove and also sailing inside the narrow mangrove channels, the dhow/dau moves very close to the mangrove and enjoys the spectacular view which exposes our amazing clients close to other scenic views at a close range glance. While onboard the clients are also equipped with a cooler box to store their beverages but it is not included in the package, a client is allowed to bring their own beverage and we ensure the coldness never fades for their enjoyment. After sometime the sail will be folded when it reaches the golden time as everyone will have a chance of enjoying seeing the magical dazzling sunset before it completely goes down, later on after the sunset the journey back resumes and we drop our clients at their preferred destinations.
