Sunset a must! - Great Tour, Omar was prompt, friendly and very knowledgeable, pointing out all the wildlife and took his time to explain about the mangrove. The Sunset was amazing. I have endless memories via photos that Omar kindly volunteered to take. Thank you Omar.

Very much fun, definitely a must do. Staff are wonderful thank you - We were picked up and taken back to our hotel, as arranged by a tuk tuk, very safe, Staff so friendly and helpful telling us all about the history of the Konga river, knowledgeable about the wild life, sang to us made it such a fun boat trip, unfortunately it's was over cast so no sun set it was hidden, the staff work so hard to please the tourist, very kind and humble people thank you. Definitely recommend this trip so worth the money

Sunset Kongo river Diani beach - We took a wooden canoe ride watching the sunset on Kongo river. I highly recommend it, when rowing by hand and not listening to any engine feels very peaceful!! Loved it... We also did it with our Guide as well as other activities that I have also put reviews, Jeanson +254728907026

Make sure to book with Estuary Restaurant for your best experience. - 31£ is totally unworthy because the excursion doesn't include nothing but the wooden canoe itself. When we arrived we discovered there is a beautiful restaurant with amazing food called Estuary Beach Lounge which sell the same exact excursion plus dinner and drinks included for 5000ksh (Kenyan Shillings) That is a deal!! Make sure to book through Estuary Beach Restaurant. Thei phone number is +254748325156. You will have the best experience with them.
