Pilli Pipa Dhow Safari is a leading boat tour operator at the south-coast of Kenya. This highly sought-after experience is a memorable, once-in-a-lifetime activity offering pristine and uncrowded reefs, with excellent scuba diving and snorkelling opportunities in one of Kenya’s vibrant marine ecosystems.

Our company specializes in providing customized tours to the Kisite-Mpunguti National Marine Park, where you can explore the breathtaking coral reef and spot dolphins, all while snorkelling or scuba diving with our qualified guides.

Once aboard of one of our dhows, you’ll be greeted by our professional guides, who are dedicated to ensuring your safety and enjoyment throughout the day.

No matter your skill level and experience, diving in the Indian Ocean is like no other place you will have been before as a new world of beautiful coral reef and marine life reveals itself just feet below the surface. To ensure fun and safety for all, Pilli Pipa limits dives to small groups as this allows you to feel the freedom of being in the underwater realm without being crowded.

One of the highlights of our safari is the opportunity to encounter dolphins in their natural habitat. With careful adherence to the code of conduct, we ensure these magnificent creatures are respected and not disturbed during our encounters. Keep your eyes peeled, as lucky snorkelers and divers may even spot whales or whale sharks during their adventure.

Dolphin encounters are common in the Kisite Mpunguti Marine Park, which consists of three islands all encircled by coral reefs. This area is home to several pods of dolphins, they are inquisitive, and there is a good chance that they may pass by to see who is there. In the park there is an abundance of fish and seafood for marine mammals. Dolphins are seen on most days but as they are wild animals, sightings cannot be guaranteed.

At Pilli Pipa Dhow Safari, we hold a deep reverence for the majestic marine life that graces the waters of Kisite Marine Park. Our approach is characterized by patience, mindfulness, and a deep commitment to their well-being. We understand that building trust and maintaining a respectful distance is paramount to ensuring harmonious interactions.
