Kenya: Diani Glass-Bottom Boat Cruise with Transfers

  • Kenya
  • • Adventure Activities
  • • Duration 2 hour

Description

Discover the colourful underwater world of Kenya’s South Coast without needing to dive or swim on the Diani Glass-Bottom Boat Cruise. Begin with a convenient pickup from your hotel, resort or accommodation in the Diani Beach and Ukunda area before travelling to the designated beach departure point. After a short safety briefing, board a purpose-built glass-bottom boat and cruise over the shallow coastal reef.

As the boat moves across the clear Indian Ocean waters, look through the viewing panels beneath your feet to observe coral formations, tropical reef fish and other marine life from the comfort of the boat. A local crew member provides commentary about the reef environment and points out interesting marine features along the route.

Depending on the tide and selected operating schedule, the experience may include a stop near a nearby sandbank or Robinson Island area, where guests can enjoy the coastal scenery, take photographs and relax by the water. Optional snorkeling may also be available for guests who want a closer look at the reef.

After the marine viewing experience, cruise back toward Diani Beach and transfer by vehicle to your accommodation. This relaxed experience is particularly suitable for families, first-time visitors, non-swimmers and travellers who prefer to enjoy marine life without a demanding water activity.
