5.00Wonderful experience with fantastic crew! As many excursions go, you have many groups/guides to go with, but Omar and his team make the experience. Highly recommend booking with them and knowing you are in good hands for a wonderful experience even if the weather is not on your side, if plans need to change or adapt, and to meet the needs of everyone in your group. They keep safety first, making sure everyone has a great experience along the way!

5.00We had an amazing day out with Safe Adventures Safaris. Everything was well organized, and the experience exceeded our expectations. Our host, Omar, was incredibly generous, friendly, and very knowledgeable, which made the trip even more enjoyable. The snorkeling experience was absolutely exceptional — crystal-clear water and an unforgettable underwater view. Seeing dolphins up close was a huge highlight and truly special. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable and well-guided adventure!

5.00This was really an amazing day which I highly recommend. An amazing day by a truly local business that went above and beyond to make this day perfect. All the way from the drive with Mohammed, the boat trip, snorkeling, Omar and Hussein playing with our kids on the beach, visit to Omar's village, the slave caves, and last but not least - lunch from Omar's mother. If you are looking for an excellent trip - book safe adventure safaris. Asante sana!
Perfect authentic experience!

5.00It was an amazing and authentic experience for us. The guide Omar was very welcoming and you get the feeling he is doing with a lot of passion. From the dolphins to the village and the food it all was wonderful! We can’t recommend Omar enough :) if you go to the village definitely take some presents for the children! (candy, books, pencils)

5.00Great tour! We got picked up promptly in Diani and drove to the dock of the boat. We had the boat to ourselves since it was low season. We swam with dolphins and snorkelled in amazing reefs. Hussein gave us plenty of snorkel time before we had a brief but informative visit to the Wasini village. Best part of the day was the traditional Swahili lunch prepared by Hussein’s family. Amazing!
Very good

4.00Definitely worthwhile and recommended. Pick up at 7.15am from Diani Beach, departing from port at 8.00am. While snorkeling many fish and a turtle seen. The guide was very helpful when snorkeling. We could also see dolphins in the wild without drift hunting and feeding. Older semesters, like us , had some problems getting back on board. Our visit to the Maasai village did not notice, as that was too much for us. Traditional lunch very interesting and rich, although not necessarily our German taste. Slave cave also very interesting. Attention poor path lighting ! There were also bats to see. Guide and driver super nice and good English speaking. Thumbs up!
