This was a fantastic excursion. A huge thank you to Mohamed, who picked me up from my accommodation; Omar that was fantastic leading the tour, giving information, and making sure everyone felt safe; and the crew that looked after the boat. I went on the boat trip solo and felt super secure. We joined up with a few other groups for the trip so I met other travellers and spent time with the whole team. We saw dolphins, sea turtles and enormous fishes, the lunch was brilliant, and overall the day was among my favourite of my Kenya trip. I will recommend Omar’s company to all my friends! Thanks again Omar!

Thanks to Safe Adventure we had ocassion to see beautiful nature area of Kisite Marine Park. Trip was very well organised with all the things planned. We saw groups of dolphins and turtles swimming next to us, underwater life around the reef, many interesting fish and octopuses as well. The crew was very helpful for people who don’t swim so well, taking care about their satisfaction and safety. More over they were very nice and friendly with wide knowlegde about the area and animals living in the park’s water. They provided us all we needed: safe transport, snorkling equipement, water and fresh fruits on board. Views on the sandbar were breathtaking and unforgettable. We enjoyed this trip very much and for sure we will arrange some more with this company next time in Kenya. No matter if you are a good swimmer or not, with Safe Adventure you will be in good hands. Thank you once again guys, best wishes and see you next time. 10/10

best trip I did in Kenya! We saw dolphins, snorkeled and had a super delicious meal with a view of the sea. the tour leader Salim, really made the effort to take beautiful photos and videos for us while snorkeling. Definitely recommended for everyone.

We saw dolphins, so the experience was nice. The lunch was also good. They provided fruit in the boat after snorkeling, which was very refreshing. However, what we experience was not really what we were expecting.

This was my second time going out with these guys. I don’t think I would ever want to go with another group. It gets better every time. From dolphins to lively coral and sea life. I can’t say enough about how enjoyable it is. The host are very friendly and accommodating. It’s a must go every I’m in kenya
