    All about the Half Day Trip Glass Boat Tour.

    SAFARI STARTING FROM MOMBASA /KIKAMBALA/DIANI/KILIFI/WATAMU/MALINDI/KENYA

    Upon your arrival in Mombasa, your dedicated Travel InternationalSafaris Guide will meet you at the Airport. Your guide will be on hand during your entire stay and will travel with you to help you have the very best experience possible while in Kenya. You and your party will be transferred from the airport to your Hotel in Mombasa/Diani/kilifi/Watamu/Malindi.

    Shimoni is full of amazing experiences……. For 20 years we have served sport fisherman, scuba divers, snorkelers, dhow trippers, honeymooners and friends to explore, discover and feel the Kenya of Old, where time has mercifully stood still, and the masses have not taken over. Now, we also offer unique accommodation, just 6 spacious comfortable cottages, a roof top suite overlooking the Wasini channel, and a residential house for visitors who prefer to do some self-catering. There is also a pool, a spa service, and at our bar and restaurant, a revitalized exciting menu for our guests who just want to relax and enjoy the privacy that Shimoni is special for.  Those who prefer to explore the ocean while dry should check out boats equipped with a glass bottom to obtain an insight into the amazing world underwater. Through the embedded glass bottom in your boat, you can observe what is happening in the water right below your feet. An experienced captain will guide and control the glass bottom boat since they are very familiar with the area and know where you can find interesting things in the underwater world. Exotic fish, interesting marine life, and corals offer a beautiful and amazing view.

    The duration of glass bottom boat excursion with snorkeling from Diani Beach is 3-4 hours, during which you can explore the magical underwater world from the comfort of the glass bottom boat.

    Pick up times from your hotel depends on the tide, whether it is high or low tide. The glass boat tours are mostly done during low tides to be able to explore the Robinson Island sand bank which pops up during low tides.

    Snorkeling can be done for swimmers but if you chose to stay on the boat or laze on the sand bank this is also perfectly fine.
