... Dhow Wow!!! ... Our dhow is called MV Rafiki. The monsoon winds gather and puff us towards Kisite Mpunguti. We had started off from the Shimoni jetty. Captain Mohammed offers a "Bismillah" and a lovely smile before we embark. The Kisite Marine Park was established to protect the scenic islands and special habitats of a wide range of endemic marine animals and breeding migratory birds. It lies in the coral gardens south of Wasini Island and encompasses three small coral rag forest islands, each with considerable areas of fringing reef. Kisite is one of the most rewarding snorkelling locations at the coast. Visitors can also enjoy bird watching, diving and of course, sunbathing. At Kisite we pour ourselves off MV Rafiki into warm, clear, clean water. Some of us hangout at the sandbar right after spotting some dolphins while some snorkel onto the reef, where marine life - zebra fish, flecked lobster, speckled crabs, fish the colour of canaries and fish with plumped-up lips like the ladies at Shella - all busily ignore us. Moha's boys back at Wasini island have cooked lunch on the beach. We voyage back to Shimoni the mainland after lunch at Wasini with Moha and his boys entertaining us with some "live music."

It's a beautiful marine park with wonderful water and colourful fish. We also saw many dolphins playing around our boat.

A fantastic day long trip across the choppy waters of Mombasa bay. Boats launch from Shimoni jetty. The whole trip can last between 6 to 8 hours. Distance covered is about 20 kms. Highlights are Dolphin sighting, crossing various islands including Wasini island, snorkeling, sand dunes and island hoping. Fantastic experience.

Awesome boat ride, talk of the white sands, great views of the ocean and horizon. Unfortunately, we missed to see the dolphins but nevertheless, the experience was great
