Mombasa Tour Itinerary
Leisurely Lunch: Have lunch at your hotel's restaurant or explore one of the many beachfront restaurants in Diani. Enjoy fresh seafood and local Swahili cuisine.
Afternoon (Beach Time & Optional Water Sports):
Relax on the Beach: Spend the early afternoon relaxing on the pristine white sands of Diani Beach. Swim in the warm Indian Ocean, soak up the sun, or simply enjoy the calming sound of the waves.
Choose Your Water Adventure: Diani is a hub for water sports. Depending on your interest and energy levels, you can opt for:
Snorkeling: Many resorts offer snorkeling trips directly from the beach, or you can join a glass-bottom boat tour to explore the vibrant coral reefs just offshore.
Kitesurfing/Windsurfing: Diani is a world-class kitesurfing and windsurfing destination, especially during the Kaskazi (Dec-Mar) and Kusi (July-Sep) winds. Lessons and rentals are widely available.
Stand-Up Paddleboarding (SUP) or Kayaking: Explore the calmer waters of the Kongo River estuary or paddle along the coastline.
Jet Skiing: For a more adrenaline-fueled experience.
Evening (Sunset & Dinner):
Sunset Stroll: Take a leisurely walk along the beach as the sun begins to set, painting the sky with beautiful colors.
Dinner at a Beachfront Restaurant: Enjoy a delightful dinner. Diani has numerous excellent restaurants, from casual beach shacks to upscale dining. Consider trying Ali Barbour's Cave Restaurant for a unique dining experience in a natural coral cave (reservations essential).
Early Start (7:00 AM - 8:00 AM): This is a highly recommended full-day excursion. You'll be picked up from your hotel and transferred to Shimoni (about 1-1.5 hours drive south).
Dhow Cruise & Dolphin Spotting: Board a traditional dhow (sailing boat). As you sail towards Kisite Mpunguti Marine Park, keep an eye out for dolphins – they often swim alongside the boats!
Snorkeling/Diving in Kisite Marine Park: Dive into the crystal-clear waters of the marine park, famous for its incredible coral gardens, diverse fish species, turtles, and sometimes even whale sharks (seasonal, Oct-Mar). Snorkeling gear is usually provided. Certified divers can also arrange a dive here.
Wasini Island & Seafood Lunch: After your marine exploration, head to Wasini Island. Enjoy a fresh seafood lunch (often prepared by locals on the island) and explore the charming village, visit the coral garden, or learn about the historical slave caves.
