Kisite is the best and most
accessible Marine Park in Kenya. Once out
on the Indian Ocean, there are regular sightings
of dolphins, often accompanied by their
rollicking offspring. Within the Wasini
Channel, the rare hump-backed dolphins are
also often sighted. Scuba diving and fun-diving
guests often meet turtles underwater, too.
Kisite also has a fantastic variety of fishes
and coral. Snorkeling is done off the fringing
reef of a large rocky islet and a wonderful
sand bar, which appears out of the blue
ocean at low tide. On top of the islet,
is a large colony, in season, of noisy,
nesting sooty terns. Provided with masks
and snorkels but no fins, snorkels float
above what can be compared to a personal,
gigantic, tropical aquarium. Assistance
is also provided to first timers.
