What people are saying about Coast Province

There is only one word for this activity that sums it all up: Breathtaking. We were picked up from our hotel at 5 a.m. & had a good three hour drive (which was due to our hotel location). The driver & guide Ismail told us a lot about his country on the outward and return journey and answered countless questions. The trip alone was worth the money. Arrived at the destination we met our captain who also has an incredible knowledge of the waters and the animals that live there, so we had the chance to see dolphins and even whales which have been sighted off the island the last few days. We are one Followed the animals for a while and observed them well before we drove to the dive spot, where we experienced a breathtaking underwater life that will stay in our memories forever. After the insights we went to the wonderful food, followed by the island & cave visit. Book & be enchanted!Asante sana

Highly recommend. The focus is on snorkeling, you spend roughly 1.5h at two different spots. Lunch is tasty - typical dishes, with crab being the main option, but vegetarian dishes are also possible. They support local communities which is always a plus.

Our driver was amazing and our boat driver was great. They showed us everything the list of activities and including a tour of the local village.

This was really fun. Our guide was excellent. We felt welcomed and we got some incredible memories. I would really recommend
