About this tour

Swahili lunch at Mpunguti Island Marine Reserve. Swim, eat, drink and visit the rare endemic giant coconut crabs, with a good view of small islets and fishermen in local paddling and sailing dug-out crafts.

A full day that brings together the best of the south coast: the Wasini dolphin and snorkeling tour, guided snorkeling in Kisite Island Marine Park, and a relaxed Swahili lunch on Mpunguti Island Marine Reserve.

After lunch, meet the giant coconut crabs, then visit Mkwiro Village and the historic Shimoni Slave Caves before heading back.
