We stopped off during our World Cruise and joined a snorkeling day trip to Wasini Island with Elky, arranged through our tour agency — and it was absolutely fantastic! The traditional dhow boat was both comfortable and shaded, offering great protection from the sun. We loved learning about the coastal islands near the Kenya-Tanzania border. The crew truly stood out — enthusiastic, professional, and deeply knowledgeable. One of the guides, a former biochemistry teacher, gave us fascinating insights into the marine life and coral reefs. Their care for the marine sanctuary and attention to safety were impressive. Snorkeling was well-organized: equipment was provided, and the crew ensured each guest had a perfect fit for their mask, snorkel, and fins. Lunch was outstanding! A seafood and crab feast was served at a lovely local restaurant, with options for chicken lovers and a delicious vegetarian meal (mine included samosas, chapati, and tasty vegetable dishes). The natural beauty of the area is breathtaking, but it was the kindness and dedication of the crew that made this trip truly unforgettable. Easily one of the best experiences we’ve had on any vacation. Highly recommended!

Starting from our pick up ,driver Kasim tried selling us the stuffs unnecessarily.then at the ferry point thierr team tried selling us snorkeling equipments thougt they were supposed to proved us as the part of theor package.We were left standed on the road as there was no fuel on the car . the driver just left us in the cab without even informing us that he was going for fuel. the food experience eas completely below average for the food that was included and also for the over and above we ordered
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're truly sorry to hear that your trip did not meet your expectations and would like to sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused at various points during your tour. Your feedback regarding the driver's behavior, the snorkeling equipment confusion, and the unexpected delay due to fueling is deeply concerning. This is certainly not the standard of service we strive to provide. We have addressed this with the driver and our operations team to ensure such incidents are not repeated in the future. Regarding the food, we regret that it did not meet your expectations—both what was included and what you ordered separately. We are currently reviewing the food experience with our partners to improve both quality and service. We value your feedback and take it seriously as it helps us improve. We hope to have the opportunity to regain your trust with a much better experience in the future. Warm regards, Abdul Customer Relations
I highly recommend this travel agency, their response is quite quick, they will also respond in the evening, delivery is very timely, via Viator booking, and also receive confirmation notification sent immediately, making people quite reassured. But I do not recommend this trip itself, unless you take children, otherwise this trip is a bit uninteresting for adults, there are 35 passengers on a shared trip boat, I don't know how high the chance of seeing dolphins, but we don't see this day, it's just a constant boat trip, waves that cause a lot of dive hard and dangerous, and there are no coral and fish, boat and ticket buyers spent more than an hour waiting for lunch, lunch is also always waiting for everyone to finish eating (some of the kids in the group went to the bathroom for a long time, the European people of the group are very unhappy) Vasini Island itself has nothing to characterize, it is not beautiful and dirty on the island, the lunch included in the "Coral Wasini Adventure" environment is dirty, the meal is not good to eat, everyone remembers to go to the bathroom first, because this restaurant is really bad.
太棒了！ 感謝您分享您在 Elky Diani Beach Holidays 的體驗。我們非常樂意傾聽客戶對一日遊的評價。 我們也很高興聽到前台團隊及時回覆了您的預訂。 關於船隻、餐廳、船長和船員，我們非常感謝您提供的回饋。我們將與我們的分包合作夥伴跟進，確保他們竭盡全力，達到最高的客戶服務標準。
The staff pick you up from your hotel and take you to the harbour. The boat ride experience was amazing with dolphins and snorkelling for the first part. You then have a relaxing lunch which is included as part of the package. The whole experience was amazing
We are grateful for that positive remark and appreciated for meeting your needs hopeful to day tour with you in future, we say thank you.
