Watamu Marine National Park — Attraction in undefined

We took a tour through the Watamu marine park in a glass bottom boat (glass bottom sounds nice but is useless and not necessary anyway) I give two stars less because of the condition of the starting point at Blue bay beach. The beach is packed with seaweed and trash, I would expect a Marine park, which is considered a protective organisation, to take care of this place. This is why we gained a very bad first impression of the park. However this impression improved with a boat trip to the turquoise water at sandbanks and a snorkeling tour in the reefs, which was truly beautiful. We saw lots of colourful fish, more starfish octopus crabs the shadows of two reef sharks and marvellous corals of course. The trip to the mangroves was nice as well. Lunch served very tasty and the people of the picnic site friendly and highly professional with regards to the guests needs. Thumps up for this. All together a...

I loved this

Value for money for sure Here's the thing, get there early if you wanna see the dolphins but the season for that I was informed is November to December The other thing, after seeing the dolphins, there's snorkeling... I'm not yet adventurous for that😅😅 But I'll try that next time

Afterwards, you're taken to the shallow waters to either play with the sand or swim And then lunch afterwards to try the sea food, mostly octopus, prawns and lobsters Then later a canoe ride in a certain creek at the island you're taken to And then back to the starting point It's a whole day activity so you'll have a lot of fun.

Should cost you utmost...

Unfortunately the trip which is offered as a "blue safari", it's just a boat ride, depends on the boat, you can share it with up to 40(!) other people. In our case the "glass floor" was not even uncovered, but I guess there would be not so much to see anyways... We saw a few dolphins, and the snorkeling place was extremely crowded. I saw 5 or 6 fish, and some seaweed. Sad experience unfortunately. Only after we made a trip, we read that the reef in Watamu is basically dead. Lunch in the mangrove forest is nice, but I guess one can do it without booking a special trip. In general it's a waste of...
