Wasini Island sits at the very tip of Kenya's South Coast, close enough to the Tanzanian border that the water is completely undisturbed by the resort development that defines the areas further north. The Wasini Dolphin Tour is a full twelve-hour day trip that takes you out of Diani or Mombasa by road before dawn, onto a traditional wooden dhow as the sun rises over the Indian Ocean, and into the protected waters of Kisite-Mpunguti Marine National Park — one of the finest marine reserves in East Africa. Spinner and bottlenose dolphins move through these channels in pods throughout the year, and sighting rates during the dry season consistently exceed 85 percent.   Between the dolphin encounters, the dhow anchors over coral gardens where you can snorkel alongside sea turtles, lionfish, parrotfish, and reef sharks in water of exceptional clarity. The tour concludes on Wasini Island itself with a freshly prepared Swahili seafood lunch — grilled fish, coconut rice, and the kind of meal that feels inseparable from its setting. Everything is included: transport from your hotel, boat fees, park entrance fees, snorkelling, and lunch.
