This will be followed by a canoe trip up the Ramisi river to explore a unique eco-system protected by dense mangroves. You will see a large variety of birdlife and the occasional Crocodile/and or Giant Lizzard - from a safe distance of course.
The dhow will then take you to the solitude of a sandbank in the warm Indian Ocean where you can swim and explore or just relax on the fine white sands for a while.
Next, the Dhow will sail to Kinazini, our uninhabited private Island Restaurant. You may get lucky and see a dolphin and or a giant sea turtle on the way.
