Personal and professional trip - Great tour! I have been to Kisite Marine Park before, but what distinguishes his tour is that it is small-scale and relaxed. Where larger organizations are often in a “rush”, Omar offers plenty of room for flexibility and organize the tour exactly how you want it together with your travel companions. Omar is easily accessible and he arranges everything; pick up in Diani, boat trip to Wasini, and nice lunch in Shimoni. We liked to explore the Wasini island on foot and to explore Shimoni, and this was also possible. Furthermore, we dived and snorkeled. Omar is a driven, enthusiastic, professional guide with a good heart for people and nature. He knows a lot about nature, corals, turtles, and Kenyan culture. In short; I recommend this personal trip to everyone:)

Authentically amazing experience - We're a family of 4 who were in Kenya for 12 days. This trip was one of our highlights. After 8 days on safari, we went to Diani beach for some sand and relaxation. We signed up for this tour because of the high ratings and the focus on snorkeling. Omar and Hussein (owners and guides) were very engaging and authentic. The snorkeling was great, but the tour across Wasini Island really made it special. Plus an authentic Swahili meal and lots of great conversation! We saw so much in Kenya on our holiday, but I know this is one of the experiences that will stay with us the longest. Thank you Omar and Hussein!

Excellent day on the water (and on land) - We had a great day with Omar! A very friendly and knowledgeable guide. Pickup at the hotel in diani was on time. Said drove us south in a good van. We were met by Omar and after getting the formalities of tickets sareanges we went on a nice boat. We were only with 6 people so not a fully packed boat. We some some nice dolphins and went snorkeling wher Omar and the crew of the boat helped us with the kids to do a nice snorkel tour. Lots of nice fish but a lot of damaged coral (unfortunately becoming more and more common). Some fresh fruit when we were back on board. He gave us a tour of the village on Wasini Island which was very interesting. We had a local lunch in Shimona village. Tasty. Last stop was a visit to the Shimona slave caves. Some dark history… We said goodbye to Omar and were back in our hotel an hour later A great day!!

Wonderful Dolphin tour with Safe adventures. - Wow, what a trip with Omar and his team like Hussein. We were very lucky to see many Dolphins and the snorkeling was out of this world, I had done snorkeling before but this was at another level. What I liked about Safe adventures is that you go as a small team unlike others who pack many people in one big boat hence even spotting the dolphins becomes a problem and also not all of you are able to get the gear for snorkeling. The lunch was very nice, they had a mixture of mainly sea fish and others since my children wanted other options which they provided. The tour starts when you are picked at your hotel latest 7:30 to the Wasini kisite marine park entrance. The final adventure was the Shimoni Caves where the slaves used to be kept before being taken to the slaves market in Zanzibar, it replays the history and one appreciates the reason why slave trade was burned. I would recommend the Dolphin tour with Omar of Safe Adventures, his contacts are +254790637077,+254701934126

Highlight of Diani beach holiday! - Highlight of our trip to Diani Beach! Omar and his team were absolutely fantastic! 1. Timely pick up and smooth ride from Hotel in Diani to Shimoni 2. Nice boat ride spotting many many beautiful dolphins 3. Great snorkeling with lots of colorful fish and very well preserved coral reefs- much better than we expected 4. Wonderful break on a stunning sandbank- picture perfect! 5. Interesting Local village visit 6. Nice lunch in a local restaurant in Shimoni 7. Insightful visit to the caves in Shimoni 8. Smooth ride back to our hotel We started the day in the rain with overcast conditions, and were worried we wouldn’t be able to enjoy the trip, however got so lucky with the sun coming out right in time for the snorkeling and sandbank visit which made it all the more beautiful. Our guide Omar, our driver Mohammad and the whole boat crew were super sweet, helpful and nice to talk to. They were super light and easy going and made the whole trip from A-Z very enjoyable. This was truly the highlight of our visit to Diani Beach. Highly recommend to book with Safe Adventure Safari!

Amazing day snorkelling! - We had an amazing day with Hussain snorkelling. We had him as our personal guide and he was very knowledgable and passionate about protecting the ocean and the turtles. We saw dolphins on the boat ride to the snorkel destination. My partner hadn’t snorkelled before but Hussain was great at showing him what to do and making him feel comfortabe. We did over an hour snorkelling and we saw some amazing fish. I’ve snorkelled around Europe, Asia and Australasia and this was one of the best locations I’ve been to. Hussain was amazing at pointing things out and finding fish hiding. He even took my GoPro and got some great footage for us. He was so attentive and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. The company is a small locally run company and it is great to support this instead of big international company’s. We would 100% recommend the experience to anyone! One of the highlights of our two week Kenya trip.

Absolute recommendation for seaworthiness - First of all a big thank you to the whole crew for the perfect handling👍For the crossing from Shimoni to the snorkel reef off Wasimi Island, which takes a good 1h, you should bring a certain seaworthiness. With appropriate sea conditions the cutter rocks quite a bit over the water... Once you arrive, however, you are royally compensated by the colorful underwater world. Unfortunately, as elsewhere, almost all corals are dead. Very sad. Lunch on Wasimi was prepared with a lot of love.. thank you the hardworking women for it. Unfortunately, we haven't seen dolphins.
