PARADISE REVIVED?
Sure, you'll confirm it before the end of the day!

As the dhow slips gently away from the jetty, your experience of a lifetime begins and you quickly fall under the spell of the magical atmosphere. Beautiful vistas over turquoise seas along the mangrove islands as you sail and enjoy the truly unspoilt Kenya coast. |
You'll be collected from your hotel and driven to Shimoni through coconut and cashew plantations to the beach where the crew of our dhows await you. Shimoni, "the place of the hole" in Swahili, is a series of huge limestone caves that were once used as slave prisons. Local slavers are said to have stored their victims here pending shipment. A visit to these caves is scheduled before boarding the dhows.
Shimoni is also the starting point for a visit to the Kisite Mpunguti Marine National Park. Scarcely anywhere in the world can beat the snorkelling around the small islet of Kisite. Enjoy a fascinating guided snorkelling experience in Kisite's imposing reef system which is the home of dolphins, turtles and an enormous variety of coral life and hundreds of species of beautifully coloured tropical fish. The peace and tranquil beauty of the coral reefs, the breathtaking colourful variety of the underwater world, the playful dolphins and turtles with myriads of vibrantly coloured tropical fish and you all want to see everything. |

The journey here in a dhow, followed by a seafood lunch on the island, makes just one of those days you remember for a lifetime. Wasini is a seven-square-mile island lying off Shimoni and consisting of two Muslim fishing villages, a pillar tomb with inset porcelain and abundant shells.

"DOLPHIN" restaurant to appease your hunger along with cold drinks served by traditionally dressed waiters. You can taste our "DAWA", the house medicine to get a good start for your lunch. Your meal draws to a close when traditional Arab coffee and Kenyan tea will be served. After lunch you may simply relax on our Funzi chairs, explore the island or swim and dive or snorkell again if the tides allow.
The "PARADISE REVISITED" full day ocean-going safari comprises unique experiences of snorkelling and swimming around Kisite, a guided tour of Wasini Island with a visit to the native villages, a BBQ party in "DOLPHIN" and much leisure time in and out of our gardens or on the beach.
Those who come for fun-diving or scuba-diving will join the "PARADISE DIVING EXPERIENCE" tour with double dive option for qualified divers going straight on their diving tour, however, not missing the delicious seafood party either.
