Diani Beach Snorkelling Tours – Ukunda, 2 Hour Day Trip

Diani Reef, Ukunda
Snorkelling, Coastal Tour, Marine Life
norkel the Diani reef without needing to swim.
The reef sits a short boat ride off Diani and Galu, so you can be in the water within half an hour of leaving your hotel and back on the beach well before lunch. Parrotfish, angelfish and butterflyfish move through the coral in numbers that surprise most first timers, and turtles turn up often enough that plenty of guests see one.
You do not need to be a strong swimmer. Everyone wears a buoyancy vest that holds you at the surface without effort, and your guide stays in the water alongside you. Children, nervous swimmers and complete beginners all do well here.
Two hours is enough to see the reef properly and still have your day. Trips run in morning and afternoon slots, and we confirm the exact time a day or two before, because the tide decides when the reef is at its best.

About Package
More information about this package
The Diani reef. A short boat ride from the beach puts you over coral in a few metres of clear water. Parrotfish, angelfish, butterflyfish and wrasse are on the site year round, with turtles seen regularly.
No experience needed. Your guide fits your mask, snorkel, fins and buoyancy vest, briefs you on the boat, then stays in the water with you throughout. First timers and non-swimmers are the majority of who we take out.
Suits mixed groups. Anyone who would rather not get in can stay on the boat while the rest of the group snorkels. Tell us in advance and we will pick a site with an easy entry.
Transport is not included. You make your own way to the departure point, which is minutes from most Diani and Galu hotels. This keeps the price down and lets the trip slot into whatever else you have planned. Add a transfer below if you would rather we collected you.
