How to Get from Diani Beach to Wasini Island & Kisite-Mpunguti Marine Park

Kisite-Mpunguti Marine National Park and Wasini Island are renowned as the jewel of the Kenya South Coast. Home to resident pods of wild bottlenose dolphins, green sea turtles, and pristine coral gardens, a day excursion here is an essential highlight of any Diani holiday.

The Journey: Diani Beach to Shimoni Jetty

To board the traditional dhow sailboats, travelers must reach the historic fishing village of Shimoni, located roughly 55 km south of Diani along the A14 highway. A private chauffeur journey takes approximately 60 to 75 minutes each way. Booking private round-trip transportation guarantees that your driver waits for you while you sail, snorkel, and enjoy seafood on Wasini Island.
