Description
Diani
DESCRIPTION
Embark on this exciting 6-hour guided tour from Diani,
where history, nature, and adventure come together for a unique coastal
experience. Your journey begins with a tuk-tuk ride to the iconic Kongo
Mosque, one of the oldest in East Africa, believed to date back to the 13th
or 14th century. While visitors can’t enter the mosque, your guide will share
fascinating details about its rich history and the role it played in the
region’s Islamic heritage, giving you a glimpse into the past.
Next, head to a local office for a safety briefing and get
your reef shoes before setting off on a scenic 30-45-minute walk along
the pristine Tiwi Beach. As you stroll along the coastline, you’ll
encounter a refreshing natural water spring, explore the vibrant starfish
garden filled with marine life, and discover a unique coral formation
resembling a rhino. Your guide will share intriguing local stories while
pointing out sea creatures like sea spiders, sea cucumbers, and sea urchins
along the way.
The highlight of your adventure is the African Pool—an
extraordinary natural pool shaped like the African continent. Dive into
the clear waters, snorkel with thousands of sea urchins, and for certified
divers, enjoy a deeper exploration of the marine life. One of the most
remarkable spots on this journey is the hidden, home to millions of spider
crabs, providing an unforgettable and surreal underwater experience.
After your water-based exploration, a relaxing motorbike ride
will take you back to the office, where you’ll be treated to a traditional
African meal. Choose from Ugali with fish, chips with fish, or rice with fish,
and savor the authentic flavors of the Kenyan coast.
