Get ready for an unforgettable adventure. At 7:00 am, we'll pick you up at your resort or residence (don't oversleep!) and head straight to the Ramisi River, where you'll board a canoe and start enjoying the scenery. Do you like birds? Perfect! Because you'll see many of them flying over you, while the tranquility of the place surrounds you. It's so quiet that you'll almost be able to hear your thoughts (or those of your partner, if they share theirs). Ideal for a romantic plan or to disconnect from the world!
We will then stop at a sandbank that looks like something out of a fairy tale. The water is so warm and the sand so bright that you will wonder if you have arrived in paradise. Accompanied by the birdsong, you will enjoy a relaxing swim that will leave you feeling like new.
If you are a fan of curious activities, here comes the "sand bath" on the famous Funzi banks! It is something you have to try at least once in your life. And if fishing is your thing, don't worry: the shallow and calm waters will allow you to catch some good specimens (which you can then throw back into the water or cook like a true adventurer).
The friendly locals will also take you out on their canoes and teach you their traditional fishing techniques. A souvenir to tell your friends about!
Wondering how people live on the island without all the modern conveniences we are used to? Then we will visit the charming village of Funzi, where you will meet the locals, the healers and their fascinating customs. You will be able to try the delicious 'wali wa mnazi', a mouthwatering coconut milk rice, and explore the local art. You will take home handmade souvenirs: baskets, hats, jewellery and, why not, a beautiful leso (traditional cloth) to show off when you return.
Of course, our driver will bring you back safely to your resort or residence at around 5:00 pm – just in time for a nap!
What's included:
- Round trip transportation (with air conditioning, don't worry).
- A delicious lunch on Funzi Island.
- Island entrance fees (so you don't miss anything).
- Pick up and drop off from your resort or residence in Diani Beach or Mombasa.
What's not included (sorry!):
- Drinks (so bring your bottle of water or something cool).
- Tipping (if you felt like a celebrity and want to say thank you, go ahead!).
It will be an epic day, full of fun, nature and culture!
