All day Wasini tour included snorkelling watching dolphins, visiting Slave caves and a village, with an incredible lunch at a local place. Omar and crew take personal attention to ensure you are comfortable and everything is at a leisurely pace, the trip was very enjoyable. One of our group members cannot swim and Omar towed him in a tube so he could snorkel! Reef was incredible saw many colorful fish and life. Highly recommend this tour!

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!
Awesome Experience and picking a local company!

Hussein was our guide with Omar coordinating everything. I cannot express how awesome this experience was. Hussein really was such an amazing guide making us feel comfortable and showing us all the awesome fishes. I am honestly terrified of the ocean and I cannot express how comfortable and well I was treated. The food was also yummy as well. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND especially since this is a company that was created by Hussein and Omar who are locals! They know the ropes and you're truly helping out the local economy and two local entrepreneurs. When I come back here I will make sure to bring my friends with me and pick this tour again. Highly recommended!
A memorable day of diving, dolphins and delightful company.

Omar from Safe Adventures Safaris was a fun and organized host. A resident of the area, he has intimate knowledge of the environment and loves the ocean. Douw trip was great, snorkeling fantastic, and swimming with dolphins a memorable experience. We'll worthwhile!
It’s an ok experience, I wouldn’t pay that price again

We saw dolphins, so the experience was nice. The lunch was also good. They provided fruit in the boat after snorkeling, which was very refreshing. However, what we experience was not really what we were expecting.
