Highlights
  • Shimoni - You will be picked early in the morning at 7:30 am from your hotel and drive to Ukunda town and catch the Mombasa lunga lunga road to shimoni.Here you will stop and pay for the marine park fee. At 9:00 am, you will bord an Arabic dhow which will cruise you to kisite Marine Park. But on the way the captain and his cruise will pull up their socks so that you can see the friendly dolphins on the way. This is not guarantee but its 90%.In case you don’t find them on the way, you can spot them at the snorkeling area and have fun with them.
    When you reach at Kisite Marine Park, this is the place where you are going to snorkel. For those ones who do not know how to swim, there is enough water taxi and a water guide (they will never be alone!) they should not worry.
    NB Please note that we do not swim with the dolphins only watching them.

Great snorkelling and dolphin watching - I happened to find these guys on a google search. I wasn’t sure how good the service would be, but honestly speaking they were brilliant. They gave us a great price for a private dhow. We had a great time snorkelling. My kids have snorkelled all over the world and they said this was right up there with the best. They swam with huge fish and stingrays. We also saw many dolphins swimming around our boat. Our guide muhammad was a really nice and helpful guy. And the captain and his young helper served us fresh watermelon and pineapple. Our tour included simple lunch at wasini island. It was fresh and tasty. I would recommend a visit to the island to understand the basic lifestyle of the islanders. These people are very poor, live without water and electricity. so please don’t listen to other reviewers who are expecting luxury and criticise the island for not looking like something out of a movie. I would definitely go again.

If you want to get a taste of Wasini in its full element, book your trip with Jemmy. - This was a wonderful trip that I will live to remember. Jemmy Safaris offers the best services. Everything was in time and the services are 5 Star. The team is motivated and focused on making you enjoy the trip.

Great experience - Lovely boat ride on the sea with beautiful views. Snorkeling in the marine park has to be our favorite bit.

Brilliant day trip - We booked a last minute dolphin 🐬 trip with Jemmy safaris and it was beyond our expectations,the journey started at 7:30 am from our hotel Baobab beach resort to kisite park for snorkeling,we saw a lot of dolphins and lunch was ok.we couldn't ask for more. Thanks jemmy for responding to our last minute request. I will not hesitate to recommend you to anyone willing to visit for a day out.

Kisite Marine Park and snokeling - Our trip to kisite marine park including snokeling was a memorable experience. You should definitely go for Jemmy tours. Its worth your time and worth the money. Pick up and drop off from the hotel, communication, timely all those is a +++. Will definitely go back again!!! Its a 5 star for me.

Great experience - I enjoyed the experience. The driver collected as arranged in the morning and all was well organised. We just didn’t realise how much time would be spent on the water and how slow the boat would move. It could have been a shorter trip, everyone was exhausted and a bit miserable at the end. Seeing the dolphins was awesome. Lunch at the island was just ok, i felt like the platter wasn’t well explained - I wasted money by ordering it - too much food for one person and not well cooked at all. The crew were great, they really looked after us all and treated us well. They were really the cherry on top of the experience. Asante sana for a lovely once in a lifetime experience, it was great!

Disappointed ☹️ - Disappointed with the trip, didn’t get to see no dolphins & was promised to get a dhow boat but instead got a small boat, kisite marina was worth going, staff were all friendly & did their job well, because I wasn’t satisfied with my trip they gave me a bit of my money back which was good & professional.

Horrible - Everything was good in the beginning. At the end of the tour, they filled up the dhow almost over capacity. They decided to drop us off further from the pick up spot, in order to pick up paying customers. Would definitely not return
