Description

Marvel at the setting sun at the northern tip of Diani where you will find the oldest Mosque, smooth white sand dune as you sail through mangroves and palm trees onboard a non-motorized canoe Stop at Kongo Mosque, where we will meet the guide and walk to the Estuary as we exchange pleasantries and get a short introduction of the trip, then board a traditional canoe. Sail down Kongo River watching the beautiful sunset leaving the ocean behind and get to experience gorgeous Kongo river estuary, the ever-changing sandy beach and the great waves The Canoe is powered by human energy which means no engines and no dirty fumes entering the water Not only is this trip very relaxing and serene, it carries great history that the captain will explain to you as he rows along the mangrove filled water. The trip is great for bird lovers and bird watchers as the river invites over 30 species of birds who come looking for food. Feel free to ask the captain any questions regarding the area

Sunset a must!

Great Tour, Omar was prompt, friendly and very knowledgeable, pointing out all the wildlife and took his time to explain about the mangrove. The Sunset was amazing. I have endless memories via photos that Omar kindly volunteered to take. Thank you Omar.

Make sure to book with Estuary Restaurant for your best experience.

31£ is totally unworthy because the excursion doesn't include nothing but the wooden canoe itself. When we arrived we discovered there is a beautiful restaurant with amazing food called Estuary Beach Lounge which sell the same exact excursion plus dinner and drinks included for 5000ksh (Kenyan Shillings) That is a deal!! Make sure to book through Estuary Beach Restaurant. Thei phone number is +254748325156. You will have the best experience with them.

Sunset Kongo river Diani beach

We took a wooden canoe ride watching the sunset on Kongo river. I highly recommend it, when rowing by hand and not listening to any engine feels very peaceful!! Loved it... We also did it with our Guide as well as other activities that I have also put reviews, Jeanson +254728907026
