Many price they offer but finally we took a guy 4000 shillings (1600B) that supposed to go out for snorkelling for 3 hours. There is not much things to see under water (2nd spots) further out in the sea has some common fish.. finally almost 1 hour( not even 3 Kms) drive. They send us back(time up) I was surprised, my friend said it was misunderstanding. Arriving at the beach, a guy who talked to us while we getting on the boat, gave my friend a coconut... We paid for the boat and supposed to walk further along the beach. The first guy came, saying we have to pay for his floating rings(300 shillings) we thought someone from the boat send it on boat for us.. nobody used it yet... Finally we didn't want to discuss.. we walk further a second guy came telling a Coconut is 1000 shillings ( my friend confused saying 1000 as we bought 1000 shillings Tanzanian (20x in Kenya shillings) we was angry they tried to rip off us.. so bad experience...

It's not a pirate beach, it's a pirate police beach with machine guns, where people there report tourists to the police, then the police rob tourists of their money, threaten them with prison and arrest, they show the beach regulations, which are only in their language and they think that's enough , and they don't understand the explanation that someone came from another place on the ocean side and didn't even have the opportunity to see these regulations because he didn't enter through this entrance and instead of talking normally, you approach with machine guns , because someone unknowingly drank apple cider, it is sick. You are a shelled and savage society, I will never visit this country again after what I saw, and how the police scared us and robbed us, you think that the white man is an ATM, you only want money, you don't understand that someone comes there to rest and doesn't have to do anything forever to buy, and I don't want to talk to anyone all the time, change your thinking...
