Description

Your day begins at 8:30 AM, when we'll pick you up directly from your resort for an unforgettable excursion. Our journey takes us to Malindi, where we'll start with a fascinating tour of the local wood factory, where you can see skilled artisans at work and learn about traditional woodworking techniques. We'll then continue with a visit to the colorful spice market, an explosion of aromas and colors that will immerse you in the local culture. The adventure continues as we cross the majestic Sabaki River and the picturesque village of Mambrui, offering an authentic glimpse into everyday life in Kenya. The landscape gradually transforms into a tropical paradise as we make our way to the spectacular Che Shale Beach, passing through lush coconut palm plantations and stunning sand dunes. When you arrive in Che Shale, you'll be amazed by the famous 'Golden Beach', so called for its uniquely colored sand that sparkles like gold under the African sun. Here, you'll have time to stroll along the dunes, take unforgettable photos and enjoy this natural wonder that seems to transport you to another world. Around noon, we will embark on traditional canoes to reach the legendary Robinson Island, a corner of paradise that embodies the essence of tropical adventure. Upon arriving on the island around 12:30 pm, we will take you on a 30-minute sightseeing tour to explore this natural gem. At 1:00 PM, a gourmet lunch of fresh seafood awaits: crab, shrimp and local fish accompanied by traditional coconut rice, prepared according to the most authentic local recipes. You can savor these flavors while sitting facing the crystal-clear sea, surrounded by tropical vegetation (drinks not included). After resting and enjoying the island's paradisiacal atmosphere, we will return to the mainland by boat at 3:00 pm. From here, we'll continue our adventure to the astonishing Marafa Grand Canyon to witness a spectacular sunset among its unique rock formations. Our excursion includes round-trip transportation from your resort, canoe transfer to Robinson Island, a delicious seafood lunch, and a professional tour guide who will accompany you throughout the tour, sharing stories and interesting facts about this fascinating land.
