Nice experience I don't want to miss

A nice trip. Cute little islands with crystal clear water. The care was great. Eat too. However, there were no toilets on the way and on the islands. I didn't drink anything on my own so I could last several hours without going to the bathroom.

We had an amazing...

We had an amazing experience on our day trip to Nakupenda bis / Nyange Sandbank and Prison Island. Our tour guide, Hassan, was very professional, kind and knowledgeable. He led us around Prison Island to learn about the history and see the tortoises, and then we went to the stunningly beautiful Nakupenda bis. Him and the crew cooked us a delicious, fresh seafood lunch and they let us have as much time as we wanted to swim and relax. I highly recommend this tour if you are looking for a private, personalized experience.

A must see and heavily recommended.

We had a wonderful private trip to Kwale island. We snorkeld in beautiful blue sea and saw a lot of tropical fishs. Afterwards we ate at Kwahle very tasty seafood and found some souvenirs their too. Our friendly guide James and his crew rounded up the private trip.

Perfect Day in Paradise

This is the perfect tour to avoid the large crowds on the main sandbank that most of the tours go to. Nakupenda bis was beyond belief, absolutely stunning! Our guide, Ismail, was fantastic. Great communication beforehand to confirm everything, hotel pick up was on time and the whole excursion was flawless. Highly recommend!
