Watamu: Sunset Mangrove Canoe Tour with Coconut Drink｜Kenya

Begin your adventure with a walk through the mangroves. Cross the mudflats left by the lowering tide, watching thousands of little crabs scramble away from your steps. Reach the water and board a traditional dugout canoe.

Ride as local fishermen do and, with luck on your side, enjoy the vibrant bird life of the area, with 65 different species populating the generous waters of the creek.

Go deep into the mangrove forest and see the incredible amphibious fishes known as frogfish or mudskippers and the oysters that grow on the roots of these incredible trees.

As the sky turns to beautiful shades of pastel colors, watch the sun shine on every ripple of the water surface. Wait until it falls behind the Green Island, then head back to the Giriama village where you can refresh yourself with a coconut just picked from the palm or a glass of palm wine.

!!! When booking, please let us know whether you prefer to do the experience at low tide or high tide:

Low tide: Longer walk, with the opportunity to explore the mudflats and observe their unique wildlife. The landscape is very distinctive and offers a particularly atmospheric natural setting.

High tide: Less walking, as we enter the canoe from a point nearer the meeting point.

If no preference is communicated, the experience will take place around 4:00 PM regardless of the tide, in order to allow participants to enjoy the sunset over the lagoon.
