    Kenya’s wildlife wonders aren't just on land—the big game extends deep into the Kisite Mpunguti Marine Park. You absolutely have to go snorkeling to witness the incredible hidden world beneath the waves.

    A great experience if you enjoy the ocean. Lucky to view the dolphins.

    The visit is worth it! We were lucky to see families of dolphins twice on our way to the snorkeling point. It gets really crowded on weekends so try to avoid it. The variety of fishes is amazing but the corals weren't colorful at all. In Zanzibar and Mafia island in Tanzania it was more beautiful. Still we loved our excursion trip!

    Amazing marine national park in Kenya. Perfect for snorkeling, although not as great as some options in Thailand and Indonesia. You can spot dolphins on the way to this place. Must visit when you are in Diani or Mombasa.

    This place is simply breathtaking! I really enjoyed the boat ride while going for the dolphin tour and snorkeling. Although we didn’t manage to see the dolphins this time because of the high tides, the experience was still unforgettable. We got to visit Wasini Island and even did a village walk there, which was such a beautiful and authentic experience. But the highlight of it all was definitely the dhow cruise — absolutely the most memorable part of the excursion! I’m already planning to visit again soon, and hopefully next time I’ll get to see the dolphins. Highly recommend this adventure to anyone visiting the area! 🌊🐬
