You will sail across the open ocean to a pristine, isolated sandbank, giving you time to sunbathe on the sand or snorkel alongside vibrant tropical fish in the translucent waters. Next, your captain sails to Kwale Isly, where a legendary feast of fresh, grilled Swahili seafood awaits you for lunch.
After dining, you can explore the island’s unique coral formations, climb a massive, ancient Baobab tree, and watch local hermit crabs scurry across the sand. The day concludes with a refreshing dip in a stunning, hidden mangrove lagoon before you sail back to the mainland for your hotel transfer.
