The adventure starts from the “wobbly” boardwalk as you balance yourself as you walk till the end, this was such a thrill Board your canoe here and the calm ocean gently rocks you to the creek, if the tide & water level is low you can get off at garden of eden to catch the sunset as the water turns to a shimmery gold, such a sight to behold! If you’re adventurous you can kayak, stand up paddle boarding or float around the mangroves in the creek experiencing it all and hopefully see some birds hunting in the shallow waters. We used a local guide who was very informative & affordable.

Watamu Beach especially near Fortamu is a paradise. Beautiful white sand beach where you can walk freely and enjoy the spectacular view. During high tides you can enjoy the water that is giving the sensation of a warm bathtub. I spent a wonderful week! Definitively a place to visit in Kenya.

Such serenity, simply breathtaking. Great and expansive National park with many beautiful birds, large and small, and other land animals such as elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, lions, heartbeets, dikdiks, gazelles etc. It's worth the visit. Those drives in the park are thrilling if not therapeutic! Highly recommended.

The Snake Farm worth a visit. It will not take long ( 1 hour maybe?) but you will get lots of info some very curious others maybe useful in the future who knows ? We had a friendly and smiling guide who take us around the farm and showed us tons of snakes of different species ( some among the most poisonous ones like the green mambas) explaining us where they live, how they live, how dangerous they are and how you can survive a bite. You can touch a snake if you like ..but do not have to ! Especially with kids it is a place not to be missed ! The entrance fee is not the cheapest one but they use the money to work with snakes, collecting the poison and preparing the antidotes. And removing snakes from houses or hotels in case one "got lost "and goes around a lodge ! They simply pick it up and bring it back to the forest ( hopefully far enough not be back the day after !)
