DESCRIPTION

Kongo river is a secluded and secret area at the northern tip of Diani, where you will find the oldest Mosque as well as smooth white sand dunes. Here is where the trip begins as you sail through mangroves and palm trees up to a lush vegetated island as you enjoy the glimpse of the setting sun.


On this tour you get to experience gorgeous Kongo river estuary, the ever-changing sandy beach, the great waves, and the sunset canoe ride. You will literally be sailing into the sunset with the ocean behind you in a local traditional canoe.

The Canoe is powered by human energy (the captain rows) which means no engines and no dirty fumes entering the water

Not only is this trip very relaxing and serene, it carries great history that the captain will explain to you as he rows along the mangrove filled water. The trip is great for bird lovers and bird watchers as the river invites over 30 species of birds who come looking for food.

Feel free to ask the captain any questions regarding the area
