Mangrove Kayaking

Glide through serene mangrove channels on a guided kayaking adventure. Watch crabs scuttle along the roots, spot kingfishers and herons overhead, and feel the cool shade of the forest canopy.

Sunset Creek Visits

There is nothing quite like a Watamu sunset over the mangroves. As the sky shifts from gold to amber to deep rose, the creek becomes a mirror of the heavens. Our sunset experience includes a leisurely boat ride or a peaceful shoreside gathering with refreshments.
