Watamu Marine Park

Watamu Marine National Park, Watamu

 
A Watamu Marine National Park, as the southernmost reach of the Malindi Marine National Park is known, is one of the best places in Kenya for diving and snorkeling. The reef, a mere 300 meters from shore, is home to a myriad of marine life. At low tide, take a glass bottom boat tour or snorkeling right from the shore. Catch sight of whale and mako shark on a dive along coral cliffs. Spot giant Rock Cod as they hover at the waters meet near the mouth of Mida Creek.
 
Getting There
 
Most glass bottom boat tours and snorkeling excursions depart from the KWS (Kenya Wildlife Service) office.

Admission & Fees

Things to Keep in Mind
 
While visibility at the northern reaches of the Malindi Marina National Park is dependent on the monsoons, the southern portion of the park is invariably clear. Masks and snorkels are provided on glass bottom boat tours.
