Watamu Marine National Park and Reserve

Nothing compares to Watamu Marine Park! 😍🌊 I’ve been to different marine parks, but this one? Always my first choice! 🥹❤️ The eco-sites, mangroves, beautiful ocean views — everything is just TOP TIER. And the experience? 10/10! 💯 Good food ✅ Friendly people ✅ Great organizers ✅ Sudi Island ✅ Canoeing ✅ Swimming with the fish 🐠✅ Swimming, exploring & just enjoying nature 🌴🌊✅ You honestly get your money’s worth and MORE. Everything is well organized, fun, and worth every shilling you spend. If you’re ever in Watamu, put this on your list! 📍✨ Watamu Marine Park — 10/10, no debate! 😍🔥 If you are a Kenyan, the prices will differ depending on your captain. But they charge ksh. 7,000 to 8,000 for a couple.( It’s a whole day trip!)

Very poor experience in this marine park: the prices are for tourists (80 euro for 2 adults and 2 children!), no official fees for the boat trips, that you have to pay on top after an exthenuant negotiation and no rules at all for the visitors in order to target a better conservation of the environment. Infact most of the corals are died or in a really compromised status. The fish are a lot and very nice but it's not enough to save the expierence....African service at european cost: better if you avoid it and save money for other!

I loved this Value for money for sure Here's the thing, get there early if you wanna see the dolphins but the season for that I was informed is November to December The other thing, after seeing the dolphins, there's snorkeling... I'm not yet adventurous for that😅😅 But I'll try that next time Afterwards, you're taken to the shallow waters to either play with the sand or swim And then lunch afterwards to try the sea food, mostly octopus, prawns and lobsters Then later a canoe ride in a certain creek at the island you're taken to And then back to the starting point It's a whole day activity so you'll have a lot of fun. Should cost you utmost 3,500ksh. Worth it💯💯

Finding a reliable and affordable boat tour through the marine park can be difficult, but it's still a must visit place. The ecosystem here is so diverse and beautiful, and a good tour guide will show you so many unique aspects of life on the coast.

I don't know how it is during the low season but we came during Christmas time and honestly it is a complete shame, The departing site and organisation is a complete mess. You can see in the pictures attached what is the " glass" boat, just a small dirty plexiglass frame! 20+ boat full of noisy Italian tourist side by side chasing these poor dolphins, one of the boats overturned in the waves. The snorkeling spot doesn't worth it at all, hundred of people in the sea, dead corail, see weeds and only few fishs. Even the equipment that had been given to us is crappy and dirty.
