Watamu

Marine park, turtles & empty sandbanks

Why clients love Watamu

A laid-back village north of Kilifi surrounded by the Watamu Marine National Park — some of the clearest water on the coast. Snorkel over coral gardens, spot sea turtles at Turtle Bay, or take a glass-bottom boat to the famous low-tide sandbanks.

Common questions

When is the best snorkelling season?

The water is clearest between November and April. The marine park is reachable year-round, but visibility is best in those months.

Is Watamu quieter than Diani?

Very. Watamu suits couples and slow travellers who want peace, creeks and nature over nightlife.
