Review of Mombasa’s Wasini Island and Kisite Marine Park tour, with dolphin watching, snorkeling, seafood lunch, transport, costs, and practical tips.

“Parti en véhicule de Mombasa, on est arrivé à 10h au débarcadère. Pour le snorkling il faut louer des palmes en supplément et acheter des bouteilles d’eau en verre le plastique est interdit. Sur une embarcation en bois bien pleine en a navigué quelques heures avec un arrêt d’une heure pour le Snorkling. On peut observer les dauphins depuis le bateau uniquement. on a terminé par un bon repas de poisson , les fruits de mer sont en supplément et les boissons. J’ai surtout apprécié la gentillesse et l’humour de Chico pendant tout le voyage il est très très drôle 😂 Bonne expérience dans l’ensemble”
