Our 3 Days Trip to Kisite-Mpunguti Marine National Park in Kenya involves staying overnight in the Shimoni or Wasini Island area, allowing for a full day excursion with boat rides for dolphin watching and snorkeling /diving in the marine park, followed by exploring Wasini Island and Shimon’s slave caves. Get to experience the marine park’s rich biodiversity, learn about local culture and history, and enjoy the coastal atmosphere, offering a more relaxed experience than a standard day trip from a more distant location like Mombasa.
