Kenya - Dolphin Watching Trip - Kisiti Marine Park - Swim With the DolphinsSee the outline map of Kenya showing where the Dolphin watching trip in Kisiti Marine Park is.
There is an opportunity for a dolphin watching trip and swimming with the dolphins off the Kenya coast in the Kisiti Marine Park. Even though on the day we went we didn't get to swim with the dolphins, as they were with young and feeding, the day was great! One of the best excursions with a great crew was on the 'Dolphin Dhow'.

The trip took place within the Marine Reserve and we did see We were made to feel special all day whilst on Dolphin Dhow's traditional Arab sailing dhow - the friendly crew was jolly and very attentive. Our day consisted of a bumpy (Girls - wear a bra!) but scenic drive from our hotel, through coconut and cashew plantations, eventually taking us to the rural coastal village of Shimoni. Here we walked through a coconut grove to Dolphin Dhow's beach. After booking in at the office (and shop) the water taxi took us to one of two traditional Arab sailing dhows. Once we were on board we could relax, have a drink and start to take in the scenery as we left the cove. But we can say you don’t have to swim like a dolphin to enjoy On the reef an underwater paradise awaits your exploration - The reef is teeming with fish of every colour imaginable. We saw octopus, eels, corals, and al sorts of marine life - Except turtles and dolphins. |
