About this experience
A traditional canoe cruise through the mangroves at the northern end of Diani Beach, ending where the Kongo River meets the Indian Ocean at golden hour.
It runs about two hours with a local guide, and it is the calmest thing on our list — birdlife, mangroves and light rather than speed.
Good to know
- Timed to sunset, so the start time shifts through the year.
- Good for couples, families and anyone wanting a slow evening.
- Book 24 hours ahead.
