About This Activity

Embark on an unforgettable journey aboard a traditional Arab dhow, gliding across the sparkling cobalt blue waters of the Indian Ocean. As you sail, you’ll make a stop at a peaceful sandbank where you can relax and indulge in fresh tropical fruits. You’ll also have the opportunity to snorkel around the sandbank, exploring the vibrant marine life that thrives in the crystal-clear waters. After an hour or so of relaxation and adventure, the dhow sets sail toward the tranquil Island of Kwale.

Kwale is a charming, romantic island, perfect for a peaceful retreat. Upon arrival, you’ll be treated to a delicious seafood lobster lunch, offering the finest local flavors in a stunning setting. After enjoying your meal, take a leisurely walk through the island and visit a massive Baobab tree, believed to be centuries old. The towering tree, with its wide trunk and ancient presence, is a highlight of the island and offers a glimpse into the natural history of the region.

Following this awe-inspiring visit, if the tide permits, the dhow sets sail toward the renowned Blue Lagoon. The lagoon’s vibrant blue waters are truly breathtaking, and it's easy to understand why it's called the "Blue Lagoon." The striking color of the water, surrounded by a serene environment, makes it a perfect spot for relaxation and reflection.

Depending on the weather conditions, the captain may choose to return to shore by dhow, sailing gently back as the wind guides the boat. This experience is not only a chance to explore some of the most beautiful natural landscapes of the Indian Ocean but also an opportunity to connect with the tranquility of island life and the stunning marine environment. From snorkeling to indulging in local cuisine, this day promises to be a memorable adventure full of natural wonders and cultural experiences.
