Kenya · WATAMU AND MALINDI TOURS
19 reviewed
More watamu and malindi tours run in Kenya than anybody could compare by hand. These 15 came through that comparison, with cost, hours in the vehicle, and the traveller each was built for.
Tsavo East day safari from the Kenyan coast with two game drives, Red Elephants, picnic and lunch stops, and handy hotel pickup, in 10 hours.
“We was very lucky. We saw so many elephants, zebras but only one lion and so much more. Our guide knew so many things about all the animals and saw them from far away. Definitely recommend :) we loved it”
Glass-bottom cruise from Diani Beach to Robinson Island. Snorkel clear reefs, swim the sandbank, possible dolphins, tuk tuk pickup.

A 2-hour glass-bottom boat cruise from Diani Beach with a captain underwater show, snorkeling help, and time at a sandbank.
“Dette var en veldig bra tur! Datteren min på 4 år elsket det, de hadde redningsvest til henne, det var et stor pluss. Da fikk hun også snorklet. Morsom guide, med gode historier og han fant masse spennende på sjøbunnen som vi fikk se. Anbefales! 2 timer var perfekt for oss.”
Malindi woodcraft, a Robinson Island lunch, and a cooler-air sunset hike at Marafa-Hell’s Kitchen, with air-conditioned transport.
“It was a really good day with great food! The boat trip was a good addition where we could see a white sand beach and eat fresh fish!”
Malindi markets, canoe to Robinson Island, then sunset canyon walks at Marafa Hell’s Kitchen in a full day tour with lunch.
“Très beau sites, seul problème le guide ne parle que très peux français, pas locasse et l'eau nous avons eu juste 1 petite bouteille à 17h pour midi il voulais nous la faire payer .”
Spend 7 hours in Malindi Marine Park by glass-bottom boat and snorkeling, then sail to Sardegna 2 for an ocean BBQ lunch.
“I loved the hospitality from the people there. The local people are really nice and friendly. The day trip was amazing with the sea and swimming time given to enjoy each other and just to have a good time. It was peaceful throughout and they seem to know what they were doing. What I didn’t like was not being told about what’s going on and everything being delayed. This is not professional and caused more stress during our trip. We could have planned things after and miss it. Please be mindful about this going forward keep people updated. But overall a well worth experience even though it’s quite expensive you…”
A 7-hour Watamu day trip with glass-bottom reef cruising, dolphin spotting by season, snorkeling, and a Sudi Island mangrove canoe ride.
“We were picked up incredibly early and travelled 2 hours north to Watamu, we arrived there at 0845am ready to leave at 0930am. Unfortunately, we only started boarding the boat at 1000am. As we boarded the boat, comments were made (in Swahili) about us being white. The boat then spent an hour waiting for other passengers from another beach. This led to us leaving an hour and a half late. This resulted in us being rushed at the different locations. On the island that hosted the meal, the chicken option was not comparable to the seafood option (i.e. there were only two pieces of chicken compared to three or four…”
Watamu cooking lesson with Jonathan: make Ugali and Chapati, then eat together. Private 2-hour class with pickup and materials.
“Jonathan ragazzo molto simpatico, bella esperienza per immergersi nella cultura locale, consigliatissimo!”
Sunset canoe through Watamu mangroves, birdwatching and mud creatures, then a Giriama village coconut or palm wine refresh.
“Dans un premier temps on nous a oublié, on devait venir nous récupérer à l’hôtel. Finalement nous sommes allés en Tuk Tuk avec un tarif convenu au départ. Une excursion plus que sommaire un tour en barque quelques flamants Roses une heure environ. Retour à l’hôtel, et là on nous réclame encore plus d’argent. Dommage.”
One-day Tsavo East safari from Malindi and Watamu, with Aruba Dam, elephant mud baths, big cats, and lunch at Voi Wildlife Lodge.
“We had an amazing experience on our one-day safari in Kenya! We were able to see so many animals — including lions, giraffes, elephants, hippos, monkeys, and many others. The lunch was excellent, made even more special by the beautiful view of animals roaming nearby. We would like to express our special gratitude to our driver-guide, Raphael. He did an outstanding job throughout the entire trip. He shared many interesting facts about the animals, always found the best spots for us to take great photos, and was friendly and communicative the whole time. I highly recommend Raphael to anyone planning to go on a safari — he truly made our…”

“Wycieczka super, trochę nudno podczas płynięcia łodzią, można by to uatrakcyjnić o strzelanie z pistoletów wodnych między łodziami. Jedzenie super, atrakcje super, pozdrawiam Nassira który opiekował się naszą grupą i spełniał nasze wszelkie zachcianki 😉🙃 Dziękujemy, było super !!!!”

“Viator took the funds from my account 3 days before travel. Even spoke to them to confirm the booking twice and was assured someone would meet us at Mombasa airport to transfer us to Malindi. When we arrived no one was there. Called Viator and were advised by your oRead more”
