Embark on an adventure to one of Africa’s finest marine parks, Watamu, on this enjoyable itinerary aimed at divers and non-divers alike.
Created in 1968, Watamu was one of the first of its kind in Africa, boasting excellent diving and snorkelling for all experience levels. Over 1,000 species of fish have been identified here and visitors may encounter devil rays, mantas and whale sharks (in season), dolphins and turtles. Lovers of smaller marine life will not go disappointed, with a range of marine life hiding amongst the hard coral reefs.
