Pilli Pipa

Pilli Pipa

Discover a wealth of marine life, swim with dolphins and bask in the laid-back charm of Mombasa.


Overview
Get ready for a truly spectacular experience as Selina and Harm, qualified instructors with degrees in Marine Biology and aquaculture from the UK, acquaint you with marine life. Aboard the Pilli Pipa dhow, which is owned by them, set out from Shimoni (80km south of Mombasa) and sail to the magnificent Kisite Marine Park, home to a variety of vibrantly coloured tropical fish. Snorkel in the cobalt waters of the Indian Ocean - spot dolphins and other exotic marine creatures as they swim around you! At Wasini Island, savour a delicious Swahili style seafood lunch. Unwind at the Seaview Daydreamers Lounge with coffee, French pastry and fruits or simply browse around the marine library. Late in the afternoon, sail back to Shimoni with memories you will cherish for days to come.
