Full day · From USD 95 per person · Budget
The Wasini Island tour is a full-day dhow trip from Diani to Kisite-Mpunguti Marine Park, where you can often spot dolphins, snorkel on coral reefs and finish with a Swahili seafood lunch on Wasini Island. It is the most popular day out on Kenya's south coast.
Morning pickup and drive to Shimoni, dhow out to Kisite-Mpunguti for dolphins and snorkelling, seafood lunch on Wasini Island, then return to your hotel.
October–March for the calmest seas; dolphins can be seen all year.
No. Wild dolphins are seen on most trips, but sightings depend on the sea and weather, so no operator can honestly guarantee them.

The 2-day Tsavo East safari from Mombasa adds an overnight in the park to the day trip, so you get a sunset drive, a sunrise drive and a night in a safari lodge, all with less rushing than doing it in one day.
The 3-day Tsavo East and Tsavo West safari from Mombasa covers both halves of the Tsavo ecosystem: Tsavo East's open plains and red elephants, then Tsavo West's Mzima Springs, Shetani lava flow and volcanic hills, with two nights in safari lodges.
