About this experience

Robinson Island is a low-tide sandbank off Diani Beach, surrounded by shallow turquoise water. It is the easiest half day on the water here: a short boat ride, swimming, snorkelling and time on the sand.

Island access, snorkelling gear and a glass-bottom boat tour are arranged, and the timing is set around low tide so the sandbank is actually exposed when you arrive.

Good to know

  • The sandbank only appears at low tide, so start times move with the tide chart.
  • Works well for couples, families and groups.
  • Book 24 hours ahead.

Questions about Robinson Island

Why does the start time change?

Robinson Island is a tidal sandbank. We schedule the trip around low tide on your date so there is sand to spend time on.

Is the price fixed?

Prices are shown in US dollars. Where a price starts with “From”, the final amount depends on group size, package, private or shared option and date. We confirm the exact price before you book.
