A very good trip 🐙 - Overall a very good trip at the ocean. We were very happy. The breakfast and lunch were good. The snorkling was Fantastic with professionel guides. We Saw dolfins and a lot of beautyfull fish. The space om the boad was good as there is a maximum participants.

Fantastic day out - We had a great day out with the Diani Dhow team on the boat trip. All team members were extremely helpful - from making sure you felt safe during the snorkelling , to photographing the whole day for you and making sure you had food and drinks. Breakfast was on board and lunch was on wasini island at a restaurant and had great portion sizes and was delicious . I would highly recommend this excursion as it is a fantastic day out . I particularly love that the team send all the photos they have taken to you after the trip and the photos are beautifully edited and high quality . Some additional comments I would make is to ensure you use lots of sun cream when snorkelling as it gets very , very hot and you don’t realised how strong the sun is. At the restaurant , you will be approached by staff (not the boat team) to ask you to buy souvenirs and this can feel a little overwhelming sometimes, but this is in line with Diani culture anywhere .

A lovely day at sea! - We had a nice day with the gang from Diani Dhow. They took good care of us and were very patient with our children. Good breakfast and lunch. Great snorkeling!

TOP excursion - Very well organized tour to this fantastic island and to very beautiful reefs. We were particularly impressed by the very courteous crew.

Recommended snorkeling trip - Our snorkel trip was really great, beautiful traditional ship, several snorkel stops, great colored fish watched, the crew thought of everything and the supply of drinks and fruit was top...no crowds of people, even dolphins seen...The food on the island afterwards was okay.

super snorkeling - Snorkeling was a very nice experience, very clear water and the wonderful, colorful world of the Coralreef.

Beautiful, authentic day trip - Very well organized day trip with pickup and drop-off. Snorkeling was great, we were lucky to see a lot of dolphins and even swim near them. The boat was comfortable for number of people on it, crew was friendly and thoughtful. Special praise for incorporating local community initiatives into the trip, like mangrove boardwalk and slave caves.

Fun-filled day out - We had a lovely day out, the sun was shining and the organisation and management with the crew was first-rate. I was brought up in Kenya (eons ago!) and my family were serious shell collectors and every year we used to come down to Shimoni from Diani and dive off Wasini Island so I knew the area quite well. The drive from Diani to Shimoni takes an hour, we were picked up bang on time. From Shimoni the dhow takes you to the snorkelling site. It's a fun trip with lots to chat about with the friendly crew. You are offered a 'traditional' local breakfast on the boat and tea. It takes about an hour to get to the snorkelling site. We snorkelled for about 3/4 of an hour, had a break and then many returned for another half hour or so. Visibility was not brilliant and I was a little disappointed that there was not a lot of very colourful coral- there were plenty of fish, for sure. Some of us got off and explored a large sand bar. From here we took the somewhat rock and rolly trip to Wasini Island where a little power boat transferred us ashore to take us to our lunch stop above an island cliff. Coke and soft drinks were provided on the boat for guests to help themselves. Guests were given options to pay extra for lobster, octopus or prawns at lunch. Beer, wine or soft drink were included and lunch included delicious (but small) crab, barbecued whole fish, spinach-like vegetables and coconut rice with coconut sauce. Despite the strong wind this was quite an adventure and fun! We visited the local kindergarten on the island and were sung to by gorgeous little kids. The trip back across to Shimoni followed from where we were taken to the 'Slave Caves' where hundreds of caves were imprisoned underground, in the dark, before being shipped to Zanzibar and from there to the Middle East and some to South America. Terrible. This was really interesting and we were given an excellent talk on this. The only downside to me was that the travel time took a lot of the day but all in all we had a good day out.

Mixed opinion - Good transport conditions. Nice boat and carrying a lot less people than competitors. It is a pity that the French guide is expressed mainly in English and then more synthetically in French. Quick visits. Snorkeling rides that won't go down in our annals. The day trip was reduced to a few hours but for us it was enough.

Lack of professional skills and hospitality. - I feel there is room for improvement in professionalism, both in skills and hospitality. At times, the work feels more routine‑driven than focused on quality and service. Additionally, the emphasis on tips can sometimes seem to outweigh the focus on providing attentive, consistent service.
