Kisite Snorkelling Trip Overview
The Kisite snorkelling trip to Kisite-Mpunguti National Marine Park is a full-day trip out from Diani where we will travel to a couple of sites around the coral reef on the far side of Wasini Island. You will get to snorkel with thousands of gorgeous colourful fish and have opportunities to spot turtles, dolphins and more.
Included in the Kisite snorkelling trip package is a full set of snorkelling equipment, a delicious lunch following the snorkelling as well as soft drinks and snacks on the boat. You will have professional in-water guides for extra safety and aid in spotting underwater marine life.
We depart from Diani at around 7:30 am headed down to the port of Shimoni, infamous in history as the loading point for slaves bound for the markets of Zanzibar. From Shimoni, the voyage to the marine part is on a traditional Swahili-style dhow and involves a slow cruise around Wasini Island to the snorkel sites during which you can admire the scenery and catch some rays.
After snorkelling we take a leisurely cruise around Wasini Island back to Shimoni before the transfer back to your hotel in Diani.
Commonly encountered bigger animals at Kisite include dolphins and green turtles, in addition to the common coral reef fish inhabiting the area.
