Full-Day Special Wasini Island Tour with Snorkeling and Lunch

A successful excursion, the boat crew was great, the driver Kevin drove super well, which was not always that easy, we got great photos and videos, were accompanied by a camera, the lunch was authentic, I could have done without the tour through the village,

Amazing day out - a must do whilst in Kenya

Wonderful experience. We were on the Babu dhow, and the crew was literally amazing. We made snorkeling in two different spots and I realized one of my dreams: I swam with dolphins 🐬 🐬 🐬 We really enojyed Wasini Island with local food and the local people.

Since we stayed at the Diani Sea Lodge, we saw Steffen's stand at the beach bar. After the nice conversation with his employee, Steffen personally came to us and introduced himself and what he does. We decided on the private Wasini Tour since there are six of us here. It was a very good choice. The driver was very punctual at our hotel and safely took us to and from (kudos to the driver, he drove very calmly). The crew on the ship was nice, friendly, and fun to be around. We found the tour super, we thank Steffen and his team.

I highly recommend! The boat crew was amazing. They were very organized and it was a great experience. The lunch wasn’t really what I expected, but it was a great cultural experience. The seats in the van on the way to shining felt a little unstable, but everything else felt very safe.

The trip to the Wasini Dhow Safari in Kisite Marine Park was simply beautiful and perfectly organized. The guides were very friendly, competent, and took excellent care of the guests. We would especially like to highlight the diving instructor, who put in a lot of effort, as it was my husband's first diving experience ever. With a lot of patience and empathy, he conveyed the necessary confidence to him, making the dive an unforgettable experience. Another highlight was observing dolphins in their natural environment. Snorkeling at the reef was also fascinating – we were able to discover numerous colorful fish and an impressive underwater world. The delicious lunch on Wasini Island in a traditional village perfectly rounded off the day. All in all, it was a dreamlike excursion with many unforgettable impressions. We can wholeheartedly recommend the Wasini Dhow Safari! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The tour was well-organized; we were able to pay everything in by credit card, which meant there were no delays entering the park. Breakfast on the boat and lunch on the island were delicious. The crew was friendly but only spoke English and Swahili, with just a few words of German and Polish. We booked two dives, and the equipment was in good condition. The two dives were good, but for my taste, they were too close together. I didn't have time to warm up and was therefore cold during the second dive. All in all, it was a great day trip.

We had an absolutely lovely experience with the Diani Dhow Adventure to Kisite-Mpunguti Marine National Park and Wasini Island. From the very beginning, the tour operator was highly responsive and genuinely wanted to make sure we did not miss out on the experience. Pickup was perfectly on time, and everything throughout the day ran smoothly and according to schedule. Our guide was outstanding, extremely knowledgeable, professional, and also very entertaining. He spoke multiple languages fluently, including English, German, French, and even a bit of Polish, which made everyone in the group feel included and comfortable. His knowledge of marine life was impressive, and he answered every question with professionalism and a good sense of humor. The snorkeling experience at Kisite Marine Park was fantastic, and we were lucky enough to swim with dolphins, which was truly unforgettable. The equipment provided worked perfectly for me, although my partner experienced a few issues with the snorkeling gear. One of the highlights was how the guides dived deep underwater to capture amazing up-close photos of turtles, dolphins, and other sea creatures for us. We also visited Wasini Island for lunch, which was simple but very tasty. Another major highlight was the tour of the local village, especially visiting the school near the mangrove area. Visiting the Shimoni Slave Caves and learning about their history was also a very meaningful and memorable experience. To top it all off, by the evening, we had already received links to all the beautiful photos taken during the tour by our guide, which was such a thoughtful touch. Overall, this was an incredible experience from start to finish, and I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Diani.

Fantastic experience with Aqualand at Wasini Island and Kisite marine park. Steffen was extremely responsive and everything was on time and well organized. Shout out to the super friendly dhow crew who guided us through some amazing snorkeling and took into consideration our large group of kids. The photos at the end of the trip were a bonus! Great shots from the water and boat that saved us the hassle!

For €100 per person, the experience was very disappointing. The “Swahili” breakfast was greasy, not particularly good, and insufficient. The lunch was also not up to the standard expected for a boat trip at this price level. This was actually the only place in Kenya where we were disappointed with the food, so I would recommend eating before going. The lunch stop itself was uncomfortable. We were constantly approached by people asking us to spend more money, give tips, give money “for the children”, visit their shop, or give cigarettes. It happened repeatedly and made the experience unpleasant. We shared this feedback with Stephen, but he stopped replying. When we followed up, he gave excuses, never came back with a proper response, and never even apologised. This is why we decided to write here.
