SUNSET CRUISE
Unforgettable Evening on the Water
SHARED EXPERIENCE
We set off at 9:00 AM from Kendwa Beach, directly opposite the Gold Hotel. Our spacious and comfortable boat is ready to take you on a memorable journey across the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, heading toward the famous Mnemba Island. As we sail, the crew will serve you a light breakfast prepared by the local community, accompanied by tea or coffee. Throughout the day, you’ll enjoy a selection of locally made juices, iced tea, and fresh water to keep you refreshed. Take in the ocean breeze and the stunning scenery as we keep an eye out for dolphins. If we’re lucky enough to spot them, we’ll slow down, switch off the engine, and give them space—we never chase or disturb the dolphins, choosing instead to observe them peacefully and respectfully from the boat. Upon arrival at Mnemba Island, depending on the tide, your experience may include: A refreshing swim in the clear waters Relaxing in the beautiful lagoon, taking photos, and soaking up the sun A delicious Swahili-style lunch prepared onboard by our crew, featuring seafood, coconut rice, vegetable curry, guacamole, salad, chapati, and a sweet banana-chocolate treat Snorkeling around vibrant coral reefs using high-quality masks and fins Lounging on the boat or taking a nap in the shade When you're ready to return, we’ll sail back at a leisurely pace, timed perfectly with the sunset. As music plays softly in the background, we’ll serve you fresh fruits and locally made snacks for a perfect ending to the day. We’ll arrive back at Kendwa Beach around 6:30 PM, just after sunset.
WHAT TO WEAR
For your Mnemba Island excursion, we recommend wearing comfortable and beach-friendly attire. A swimsuit worn under light, breathable clothing is ideal, along with quick-dry shorts or a beach cover-up. Flip flops or water shoes are perfect for getting on and off the boat with ease. Don’t forget sun protection—bring a hat or cap, UV-protective sunglasses, and reef-safe sunscreen. It’s also a good idea to pack a towel, a change of clothes for after the trip, and a waterproof bag to keep your phone and valuables safe. If you have a waterproof camera or GoPro, bring it along to capture the highlights of your day!

What is a Transparent Kayak?A transparent kayak, also called a clear-bottom kayak or see-through kayak, is a specially designed canoe made from clear material, allowing you to see directly beneath you as you paddle. It gives you a unique window into the underwater world, making it perfect for exploring coral reefs, tropical fish, and marine life without needing to get wet.
