Watamu Marine National Park Snorkel

Watamu, Kenya

About this experience

Watamu Marine National Park protects coral gardens, lagoons and sandbanks off Kenya’s north coast. A short boat ride takes you to shallow reefs where snorkellers can see parrotfish, angelfish and other reef life in warm water.

At low tide, some trips stop at sandbanks and rock pools. The area is also known for turtle conservation, and visits can be combined with local conservation projects.
