Day Trips organized by Wasini View
All trips start directly from campsite!
Day Trip to Kisite Marine Park
Home to the beautiful and intelligent marine mammal the dolphin and a more peculiar but Coconut Crab.
The ecosystem covers a marine area with four small islands surrounded by coral-reef. Kisite Island is covered in low grass and herbs while Mpunguti Islands have dense coastal equatorial forest.
You can choose to go snorkelling among the rich marine life such as Sea grasses Cymodocea serrulata and Syringodium isoetifolium, unique marine algae, swim with the dolphins, dive to the amazing colourful coral gardens, or chill out on the sandy beach which is great for environmental friendly recreational activities.

Enjoy snorkeling along the Kisite corrals or dive with the experienced guide.
Day Trip to Funzi Bay
Visit the village on Funzi Island and chill out swimming along the sandbank in the middle of Funzi Bay.
The Ramisi River is leading into Funzi Bay and the visit can be combined with a cruise into the river delta with its many different mangrove species. The river is also populated with crocodiles and with a little luck you can make some pictures in tradition with “Crocodile Dundee”.
Your stay on Funzi Island can be combined with a delicious seafood lunch and a visit to the local market.
Shimoni Day Trips
If you require a guide to the caves staff members at Wasini View will organize. The Shimoni Slave Cave tours are one of the most popular tourist attractions. Currently, visitors are granted access to the Shimoni Slave Caves during the guided tour by members of the Shimoni Slave Cave Committee.
Your visit to the caves is both enjoyable and important to the local Community projects. (Source: KWS)
