Dhow & dolphin cruising

It is possible to take a leisurely sunset cruise aboard a traditional dhow on the tranquil waters of Mida Creek, a large tidal estuary a few miles away from Watamu village. Mida Creek offers approximately 10 km of unspoiled mangrove-lined waters where the only human inhabitants are a handful of local fishermen casting their nets in the traditional manner.

There is also a chance to take a dolphin cruise out into the Watamu Marine National Park. Dolphin cruises run from September to March (weather permitting) where it is possible to enjoy some snorkelling too.
