The turquoise side of Watamu

Safari Blue is a full day on the water aboard a traditional wooden dhow. You sail through the protected waters of Watamu Marine Park, stop to snorkel over coral gardens full of reef fish, and spend time on the sandbanks that appear when the tide drops. On calm days dolphins and turtles are often seen in the channel.

The route follows the tide and the weather, through the marine park or into the mangroves of Mida Creek, so no two days are quite the same.

Safari Blue is included in our Watamu Full Experience packages, and can be added to any room stay.

What guests say

The location is perfect — close to everything but so peaceful. The owner helped us plan our safari and even joined us for a sunset drink on the rooftop!

Feels like home, but better. The service, the food, the comfort — everything was just perfect. We’ll be back.

We loved the excursions arranged through Dreaming Kenya. It was all so smooth. And having the beach just across the road — amazing!
