Itinerary

  • N/A

    You will be collected from your South Coast hotel or villa and driven by minivan to Shimoni where you board our dhow to go to the Kisite Mpunguti Marine Park. This excursion is not suitable for collection from North Coast Mombasa hotels as the travelling distance is long. Many guests still do it but there can be long delays at the Likoni ferry. Snorkel at two different dive sites with the chance of seeing dolphins on the way and in the park. Dolphin sighting not guaranteed but highly probable. We see dolphins regularly and there is plenty of marine life to see. Then proceed to Wasini Island for an excellent lunch of fish and crab. Alternatives of chicken or vegetarian can be ordered in advance.

A fantastic day trip from Diani Beach

Published on Feb, 2025

A great way to spend a day from Diani Beach! They take care of everything - transport from your hotel, a snorkeling trip at Kisite Marine Park, lunch at Wasini Island, and an impactful tour of the slave caves at Shimoni. Not experienced snorkelers, we felt safe and taken care of in the water. The ocean was pretty choppy, at least when we went in February, so keep that in mind if that's a concern. But Pilli Pipa is a great team!

Pilli Pipa day trip to Wasini Island

Published on Feb, 2025

A totally slick operation. From the collection at our hotel to the provision and organization of diver gear, the staff were friendly and professional. The diving and snorkeling (one of each) were amazing. Fantastic viz and variety. The meal supplied was fun, tasty and varied. Even their punctuality was spot on! Very fair value for money and a good day out.

Brilliant day trip!

Had a brilliant time. Well organised, very friendly professional local staff, one of whom spoke a little English, French, Italian and German. Saw many different types of colourful fish, in a safe environment. The meal at the restaurant on Wasini Island was delicious, cooked by local women. They even made a birthday cake as we were celebrating a birthday! Thank you for a wonderful day!

Fantastic dives and food!

Published on Dec, 2024

For a 40th birthday present Pila Pilpa Dhow safaris had been recommended to us by friends living in Kenya - it was magical from start to finish :) Even arranging this from the UK was made super easy and the team made the whole day feel special and effortless. The dives were incredible—we saw a white tip reef shark, octopus, turtle, loads of lobster, a big moray eel, and just so many beautiful fish! The water was so clear, and the whole experience was just breathtaking. After the dives, we headed to Wasini for an amazing crab lunch that was honestly one of the best meals we’ve ever had. Just when things seemed like they couldn’t get better the staff surprised us with a birthday cake after lunch! It was such a thoughtful touch, and my partner was completely blown away. The team was fantastic—so friendly, fun, and attentive. They made sure everything was perfect and created such a relaxed, happy atmosphere. If you’re looking for an incredible Dhow adventure, this is it. Between the diving, the food, and the amazing crew, it was an unforgettable day. Huge thanks to everyone who made the 40th birthday celebration so special!

Wonderful, the real deal

Published on Dec, 2024

I took a boat tour with 2 scuba dives and lunch on the island. The boat was pleasant, staff warm and invested in laying out safety and comfort. Scuba dives in the area were really lovely as I saw a huge range of marine life. The highlights for me included a pod of dolphins, and two octopus, both of which I’d never seen before, but there were also plentiful reef fish to admire. Selina who led my dive gave a full safety briefing and reminder of dive protocol and I felt in excellent hands. During the dive she pointed out oodles of interesting animals to look at and kept a reassuring eye on my sometimes errant dive technique. Afterwards there was lunch on Kisite island. I had feared it would be a generic delivery of basic foodstuff, I was happily completely wrong. A lovely setting, a selection of well made dishes, drinks generously included, and the gourmet centrepiece of so much juicy seasoned crab. Also drinks and post dinner dessert and tea. I was happily stuffed. I would definitely dive with them again and plan to also check out their home resort nearby too.
