Mida Creek at Sunset
Watamu's most beautiful sunset: a boat ride through mangrove channels, birds returning to roost and an aperitif on the water.
Excursions
Day trips from Watamu.
Sea, mangroves, Swahili ruins and coastal forest: the best of Watamu and its surroundings, back at your hotel the same day.
Blue Safari – Watamu Marine Park
The coast's most loved boat day: dolphins, snorkeling on the reef, and a seafood lunch on a white sandbank island.
Gede Ruins & Watamu Town
A 12th-century Swahili city swallowed by the forest: palaces, mosques and tombs among the baobabs, ten minutes from Watamu.
Malindi & Vasco da Gama's Cross
The Kenyan coast's historic town: the 1498 Portuguese cross, the market, the old mosque and lunch with an ocean view.
Arabuko Sokoke Forest
East Africa's last great coastal forest: rare birds, monkeys and forest elephants, just kilometres from Watamu.
Dolphins & Snorkeling
A half-day boat trip in the Marine Park: early-morning dolphin spotting and snorkeling over the coral gardens.
Marafa Hell's Kitchen at Sunset
The coast's most spectacular red sandstone canyon: a trek through the Marafa gorges and a sunset aperitivo at the panoramic viewpoint.
