What to expect
The Safari Blue adventure kicks off in the sleepy fishing village of Fumba, the perfect jumping-off point for exploring the protected waters of Menai Bay. This area is famously untouched, dotted with deserted islands and often visited by wild humpback and bottlenose dolphins. After a quick morning briefing, you’ll sail out to a white-sand bank to spend the morning swimming or snorkeling through reefs that are absolutely packed with tropical fish—don't worry if you’re a beginner, as the guides have all the gear and tips you'll need. Once you’ve worked up an appetite, we head over to Kwale Island for a massive, hot-off-the-grill seafood buffet featuring lobster, prawns, and calamari. The day ends with a chill session at the "Blue Lagoon," a natural mangrove swimming pool, before heading back around 3:00 PM. It’s a full day of sun, salt, and some of the best food you’ll find on the island.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
