Great day thanks to a great guide

Had a wonderful time thanks to Omar who was an excellent guide the whole day - really friendly and made us feel welcomed everywhere we went. Managed to spot dolphins, sea turtles and plenty of fish. We took a break for a while on a sandbar which was lovely but no shade so make sure to bring good suncream or wear a swim top. We then had a short tour of a village on Wasini which was one of the most authentic experiences we’ve had on any holiday. Finished up with meal at a local restaurant, again very authentic and friendly.

Amazing

The experience was lovely - got to see dolphins - snorkelling was amazing and we had our guide Omar snorkeling with us ensuring everyone was okay! The food (chicken, fish, veg, rice, potatoes, bread) was served on the boat in the clearest sea ever and so lovely! Our taxi to the boat took a little longer than expected as we were picked up first where the taxi driver believes we should have been collected last due to our hotel location

Operator response

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a lovely review! We’re absolutely delighted to hear that you enjoyed the dolphin watching, amazing snorkelling, and the experience with Omar in the water making sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time. It’s wonderful to know you also enjoyed the freshly prepared chicken, fish, vegetables, rice, potatoes and bread while surrounded by the beautiful waters of the Kenyan coast. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the taxi pickup. We sincerely apologise for the delay and the confusion about the collection order. We understand that your holiday time is valuable, and we’ll continue working with our drivers to make the pickup process smoother and better coordinated based on each hotel’s location. Thank you once again for choosing Safe Adventures Safaris. We’re happy to have been part of your Kenyan adventure and hope to welcome you back for another ocean experience soon!

Amazing start to finish 🥰

Thank you so much to Hassan, Omar, Salim, and the rest of the staff/boat crew at Safe Adventures Safaris and Kisite-Mpunguti. This was my first time dolphin watching and snorkelling and it went perfectly. My group and I were lucky enough to spot dolphins an hour or so into our boat ride. Hassan and the boat crew made sure we had the best views and went out of their way to make sure we got the best pictures and videos. The snorkelling activity was incredible and I got to see the coral reefs and so many beautiful schools of fish. We then had a short stop at the beach to enjoy the views, admire the crystal water and pearl sand, and take pictures. Afterwards, we had a Tanzanian/Kenyan meal on the island and were hosted by a lovely group of women. The food was incredible. Thank you again to everyone involved to make my solo trip special! ❤️

Operator response

Thank you so much, Lunah! We’re really glad you had such a memorable experience with us. From spotting dolphins to snorkelling, capturing those perfect moments, relaxing on the beach and enjoying the authentic island food you definitely got the full Safe Adventures experience! Hassan, Omar, Salim and the whole crew appreciate your kind words. And yes, we’re happy the dolphins actually showed up for their part too! We’d love to have you back for another adventure!

100% recommend. I have never felt so safe on a snorkelling trip!

100% recommend going snorkelling with Omar and his team. Everything was very simple and professional from the first point of contact. Communication was great. Our pick-up driver, Mohammed was punctual and friendly and told us lots about the local area as we drove to the snorkelling meeting spot. Omar and Hussain we amazing on the day too. Very informative and gave us a full briefing before heading out on the boat. I have never felt so safe on a snorkelling trip! Usually we're just told to jump in and left to it, but Omar and Hussain were with us in the water, constantly ensuring our safety but not encroaching on our personal time or space as a family. They even had a Go-Pro and took videos of us in the water. If there was something we saw that we liked, they captured it for us so we didn't need to worry about using phones or cameras, just enjoying the experience in real time. Omar sent all the videos to us after the trip - amazing! We had the pleasure of visiting a local village which I would urge everyone to do. Seeing real Kenyan village life is extremely humbling and this particular village is very special to Omar, it's clear to see his passion for wanting to make a difference here. If you are going on this trip, please think about taking something small, be it sweets, books, shoes or simple clothing (new or used) for the children and community. It will warm your heart to see how happy these simple things make them. After the trip we all had lunch together and talked about our adventures. The food was plentiful and tasty. It was a great day all round. Thanks again Omar. I repeat... 100% recommend!

Operator response

Thank you so much for this incredible review and for taking the time to share your experience! It truly means the world to us. We're delighted that you enjoyed every part of the day—from the smooth communication and warm welcome by Mohammed to the snorkeling adventure with Omar and Hussain. Your safety, comfort, and creating unforgettable memories are always our top priorities, so it's wonderful to know you felt well cared for throughout the trip. We're especially grateful for your kind words about the village visit. Supporting our local community is something very close to our hearts, and we're happy it was such a meaningful part of your experience. Thank you again for your 100% recommendation. We hope to welcome you and your family back to Shimoni for another unforgettable adventure. Until then, safe travels, and to anyone considering a visit come and discover the beauty of Kisite Marine Park, its incredible marine life, and the genuine hospitality that makes every trip so special. We can't wait to meet you!

I am so thankfull! Best experiences! :))

Thank you for the absolutely special and extraordinary day me and my friends had in the Marine National Park!! :) We had the opportunity to visit there almost the whole day and really was a compared low price, me and my friends are students and could afford, so its approved from that point too. :) Special thanks are going to Omar, we had such a great funny talk and I learned so much from him, so thank you Omar that you had us on your boat. :) At the end of the trip everybody was singing songs in the languages of all the visitors, that was such a funny place on the boat there. :D We were not too many people, had an easy time chatting with everyone during the ride. And then everybody was so excited when we first time saw the dolphins, so beautiful creatures swimmimg towards us. It was the first time ever I saw one, just magical, so really thankfull to everybody involved. I hope to come again someday and can truely recomment to everybody, you will have a great experience and just the best conversations there!

The best day!

Had a fantastic day with Omar and another solo traveler! Not only did we find the dolphins he filmed a great underwater video for us and managed to do the same with a sea turtle. Additionally he’s so nice, welcoming, and really knowledgeable and answered all our hard questions. His mom also made us lunch which was some of the best food I’ve had in Kenya so far.
