The “Pilli-Pipa” dhow is more correctly referred to as an Arabia Red Sea Sambuk, built of teak. The beautiful motorized dhow is well equipped, including life jackets, inboard W.C cushioned sun-beds, snorkeling equipment and her fully trained crew and marine guide ensure her passengers every comfort.
The Arab style dhow “Pilli-Pipa” departs from Shimoni jetty at 0830 hrs onwards, and returns at approximately 1600 hrs. The full day excursion provides a fascinating guided snorkeling safari in the famous Kisite Marine National Park. The park, together with surrounding islands has an extensive reef system, and is the home of crystal waters, which ensure an exciting variety of coral life and an abundance of vibrantly colored tropical fish. This is followed by the exhilarating experience of a dhow under sail (weather permitting) on the way to Wasini Island, for a memorable seafood lunch. The Al-fresco Lunch is served with wine, within the grounds of a private property, on this unspoilt island.
Numbers are limited, to not only maintain the private nature of the excursion, but also to minimize the intrusion of Kisite’s fragile marine environment.
