We had the glass boat expérience in Diani. The team was very lovely and we liked Robinson Island and its crystaline waters. We saw the fishes and aquatic creatures that evolve in the ecosystem. However, we think that the whole experience should be more respectful of the ecosystem. Feeding the fish with bread to attract them is harmful, as well as touching them just for show. Furthermore, the water was very shallow and we were repeatedly touching the corals that for reminder are very fragile. The corals being almost dead in the area, i think it would be more interesting to focus on educating the guests on its preservation, and first of all by showing the example of what to do and not to do. Not just do whatever will please the tourists more.
Perfectly as advertised. No lore or less. Knowledgeable captain and navigator willing to show and explain things. Friendly and welcoming.
The snorkeling was alright, but the staff simply staffed us like sardins in a can, and had no particular interest in disclosing where we were heading or what the plan was.
Thank you so much for the positive reviews, We have noted and will continually train our boat operators to be more intentional. We continually continue to develop the capacity of our local.
Was picked up on time from my hotel. Went to the beach and got on the boat. Made 2 stops to pick up other tourists and then we got out on the “deeper” waters. Good guides who showed us lots of interesting creatures such as sea cucumber and sea spiders. Those who wanted to could swim and look at all the beautiful fish- they were plentiful. And we spendt a little time on an “island”- is is only there pending the tides. My guide made sure I got safely back to my hotel. Was a very pleasent afternoon.
wonderfull experience by the well organized kaaribu experience we really had fun from the airport pick up to the destination and back ,i would definety do it again with Kaaribu.
