We called the number stated here and were connected to a guy, who came to our hotel to explain about the different options or boat trips. We got a very decent price for snorkeling and bbq on the island. We booked a private tour. All was very well organized, very polite captains and delicious food!

An absolute highlight of Malindi! The boat excursion was phenomenal, featuring crystal-clear waters, vibrant coral reefs, and incredible marine life like sea turtles. The crew is highly professional, and the glass-bottom boat tour is spectacular.
